The provided data includes a table and a bar chart that depict the alterations in average journey times within a city centre due to enhancements in the transport network, alongside the associated costs of various transportation modes.
Overall, the improvements have resulted in decreased journey times for trams and buses, while taxis and cars, despite remaining the most expedient options, have experienced an increase in travel duration. Moreover, trams and buses present as the most economically viable transport modes.
Focusing on taxis and cars, the average journey times showed a notable increase post-improvements. Prior to the enhancements, individuals typically spent 9 minutes traveling by taxi and 10 minutes by car. Following the upgrades, these times escalated by 3 minutes for taxis and 5 minutes for cars, resulting in average trip durations of 12 minutes and 15 minutes, respectively. In terms of cost per kilometer, taxis and cars were relatively expensive, priced at €1.80 and €1.20, respectively.
In contrast, trams and buses exhibited significant reductions in journey duration due to the network improvements. Initially, tram journeys averaged 22 minutes and bus journeys averaged 28 minutes. After the improvements, these times decreased substantially to 16 minutes for trams and 23 minutes for buses. Economically, trams and buses emerged as the cheaper options, with costs per kilometer of approximately €0.60 and €0.40, respectively, reinforcing their position as the most affordable modes of transportation within the city.
