The pie charts illustrate the different ways people from a city in Europe traveled to their workplace and returned home in 1959 and 2009. Overall, it is evident that in 1959 most people preferred to walk, whereas in 2009 cars gained more popularity and outweighted that of going by foot. The preference for trains and buses remained more or less the same.

In 1959, walking was the most common means of travel, with more than half of the employees preferring to get to their offices and back on foot (55%), whereas only one-tenth of the population chose to travel by car. However, in 2009, the proportion of people who chose cars was at 35%, with one-quarter of the employees favouring walking.

An equal number of workers across the city were keen on travelling by trains and buses, with each accounting for 15% of all employees in 1959. By 2009, no changes were registered for preference of trains, with a slight decrease in the proportion of people preferring buses (13%).
