The line graph details the data about the proportion of travel by four various means of transport in a country over three decades from 1985 to 2015. Overall, it’s clear that all types of transport experienced variable falls, namely others, especially bus, which was the most preferred means of transport in the beginning of the period. It then became the least preferred choice by the end of the period, after others, with the exception of car, which saw rapid growth, hitting the highest figure in the given graph, while the percentage of travellers of rail remained unchanged overall.
Between 1985 and 2000, the most preferred choice was buses at above 60%, with a sharp decline reaching around 10%. This was followed closely by cars, starting from 30% and experiencing the highest increase, further hitting its peak at around 90%. Rail, with a slight decrease, had 10%, whereas the figure for others remained stable above 10%.
From 2005 to 2015, trends in transport usage showed notable shifts. Bus transport had stabilized its figures, with a slight decrease at the end of the given period, reaching approximately 10%, making it the least preferred means of transport after others. Despite a significant fall to 70%, the car mode of transport had the highest percentages throughout the period, while the figure for rail, with a noticeable rise, recovered and reached its previous point at 20%. The category of others experienced a mere decline and reached approximately 5% by 2015.
