In general, car traffic rates experienced a significant rise, while those for trains, bicycles, and other public transports grew marginally.
In 1950, the proportion of traffic caused by cars was 0%. After that, it demonstrated a steady increase of 20% within a decade, which was followed by a steep growth to 100% in 1980. During the remaining period of time, it continued to rise gradually, reaching a high of 140% at the end.
In contrast, the percentage of trains, bicycles, and other types of public vehicles that brought about traffic jams stood at 0% in the first year. While that for trains and bicycles increased gently to around 10% in 1970, and rose to 20% and 15%, respectively, in 2000, the latter levelled off at 5% until 1970, then remained just under that of bicycles over the rest of the span.
