The line graph illustrates the amount of goods translocated in the United Kingdom from 1974 to 2002 with the help of different modes of transport. The units are measured in tons.
Overall, the most used mode of transportation was the roadways, which transacted the highest amount of goods, while the least preferred mode was the pipeline.
The graph reveals that there was a steady increase in the use of roadways for transporting goods from 1974 to 2002, and a maximum of nearly 100 million metric tons were moved in 2002. Over the given years, the use of water as a mode of transport has also increased significantly and has translocated more than 60 million metric tons of goods.
However, the use of the rail system to transit commodities remained unchanged. Meanwhile, the pipeline system has variations. There was a steep increase in the use of pipelines in the initial years, after which there was a gradual decline that later stabilized.
