The pie charts represent how European population commuted from their dwellings to their offices in 1959 and how it is done in 2009. Overall, the major part of citizens have chosen cars to walk; as the logical ramification, the average distance and duration of the commute has sustainable differences.
To go into details, the percentage of cars’ consumption has increased from 10% to 35% through the course of time. The amount of foot-walked individuals, on the contrary, has significantly decreased; in 1959 it was 55%, but in 2009 has dropped down to 25%. It is also notable that the preferences in trains and other vehicles have not changed considerably; after 5 decades, people have have began choosing busses 2 percent more and other kinds of transport 7 percent more than in the past. The use of trains as the transfer to work has not reduced at all.
It is worth noticing that the speed and average distance travelled by these commuters considerably increased in 2009 when a commuter travelled 19 kilometres on an average in 42 minutes compared to their average 3.5-kilometre journey in 17 minutes in 1959.
