The line graph illustrates the traffic growth in the Netherlands from 1950 to 2000, highlighting four categories of transportation: cars, trains, bicycles, and other public transport. The purpose of the graph is to show the relative increase in the use of each mode over time.
It is evident that car usage saw a significant rise. Initially, there was a small increase of 20%, but from 1960 to 1980, car usage surged by 80%, followed by an additional growth of 40%.
Although there is a considerable gap between the use of cars and other modes of transport, they also showed some growth. These transport modes grew similarly, but after 1960, the most used was the train, followed by bicycles. This trend remained the same until 2000.
The least used method of transport was other public transport, which only experienced a 10% growth since 1950.
It’s important to note that all modes of transport increased in usage between 1950 and 2000, each following its own trend.
