Band 5+: The line graph shows the percentage of travels by 4 different transports in one country between 1985 and 2015 Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.

The given line graph illustrates the proportion of travel by four different types of transport from 1985 to 2015.

In general, while the percentage of travel by car witnessed an upward trend, the figure for other transports including bus, rail and others followed a contrast trend, with the downward trend of the proportion of travel by bus and the “others” transports, the proportion of travel by rail remained almost the same after the period.

In 1985, about 30% of travel was by car, this percentage rocketed to about 70% in 1995. It then reached its peak at approximately 85%, followed by a slight fall to around 70% in 2015

In contrast, the figure for traveling by bus began at the highest position, at approximately 56% in 1985, which then fell sharply to about 11%, followed by a slight decrease to about 9% in 2015. The percentage of travel by rail started at about 20%, this percentage then fluctuated and ended at 20%, which was the same as 1985. The proportion of travel by “others” started at below 10%, which decreased slightly to around 5% in 2015
