The graph illustrates data regarding the various means of transportation people used in a city in Europe for commute to and from work across 1960, 1980, and 2000, and provides percentages for these figures.
Overall, what stands out from the graph is that while foot and bus were the most popular modes of transport in 1960 and 1980 respectively, by 2000, car had claimed this place.
From 1960 to 1980, the proportion of people utilizing bus as a means of commute increased from one fifth to 27%, making it the most popular mode of transportation in 1980, and that of car rose by 18% to reach one forth. However, this number for foot plummeted from 35%, the highest figure in this 1960, to 17% in 1980.
As for 1980 and 2000, the percentage of those using a car to go to and return from work climbed to a chart peak of 37% in the century’s end, whereas this data for the remaining modes of transport decreased, with bike scoring just 7%, which made it the least used type of transportation among all the modes studied in 2000.
