The bar chart illustrates the proportion of people who used four different modes of transportation (cars, buses, trains, and bicycles) in a particular city over a period of 30 years, from 1990 to 2020.
Overall, while the percentage of car users increased significantly, the use of buses and bicycles declined. Meanwhile, the proportion of people using trains remained relatively stable throughout the period.
In 1990, buses were the most commonly used mode of transport, with approximately 38% of residents relying on them. However, this figure declined steadily to around 18% in 2020. A similar downward trend was observed in bicycle usage, which dropped significantly from 27% to just 7% over the same period.
By contrast, the proportion of car users rose dramatically from 23% in 1990 to 45% in 2020, overtaking buses as the most preferred transport option. Meanwhile, train usage fluctuated slightly but remained relatively stable, accounting for approximately 20% of total commuters throughout the period.
In summary, there was a noticeable shift towards private car use, while public transport and bicycles became less popular over time.
