The line graph provides information about the total of goods transported using four modes of transportation (road, water, pipeline, and rail) in the UK from 1974 to 2002.
Over the period, road served the largest number of stuff transported followed by water and railway track, while pipeline possessed the fewest quantities among the other transport.
To specify, goods which were transferred to another places via road started with 70 million tons in 1974 and fluctuated two times until reaching approximately 100 million in 2002. Water transportation showed a significant increase to around 60 million in 1981-1991, before declining until 1998 and then rising notably to more than 60 million. Meanwhile, railway track mainly fluctuated and ended at 41 million in 2002. For pipeline, the number kept increasing from 5 million to more than 20 million in 2002, four times higher than the initial number.
In conclusion, the UK used road to transport the goods more as it was easier to move the stuff and more cost-efficient than water, railway track, and pipeline transportation.
