The table depicts how many kilometers adults traveled by different modes of transport between 1977 and 2007. Overall, there was an increase in the total distance that people commuted by cars, trains, and taxis, with automobiles witnessing the most dramatic change, while the inverse trend was true for the remaining figures. In addition, cars were consistently the most commonly used vehicle, while bicycles and motorbikes were less popular.
The number of kilometers that people traveled by automobiles started at 3500 in 1977, followed by a considerable growth to 7100 by 2007, which made it the most favorable type of transport throughout the period. Similar changes, but to a lesser extent, can be seen in the figures for railways and taxis, which saw an increase from 900 and 200 to 1000 and 800 respectively.
The total distance that adults walked and traveled by buses was at 400 and 800 kilometers in 1977, after which it declined to 300 and 500. The figures for bikes and motorcycles were lower, at exactly 100, before slightly dropping to around 85 in the last year.
