The line graph gives information about how many UK commuters travelled per day by three different vehicles including cars, buses and trains over a 60-year period from 1970 to 2030.
Overall, there was an upward trend in the average number of UK commuters travelling each day by car and train, with the exception of the figure for bus users experiencing a downward trend. Additionally, cars are the most popular means of transport which many UK commuters use to travel each day over the period.
Looking at the chart in more detail, around 5 million people commuted by car daily in 1970 and the figure remained unchanged until 1980. Thereafter, this figure increased significantly over the next two decades, standing at approximately 7 million in 2000. Moreover, the number of UK commuters travelling each day by car is predicted to rise further, reaching a peak at nearly 9 million at the end of the period. Meanwhile, a similar trend can be seen in the figure for train users, starting at 2 million in 1970, followed by increasing steadily to 3 million in 2000. After that, it saw no changes at that level for the next ten years before surpassing the number of UK commuters travelling by bus. It is predicted to increase to 5 million in 2030.
Regarding the remaining transportation option, the number of bus users stood at 4 million in 1970. However, this figure dropped slightly to around 3.5 million in 2000 and is predicted to continue falling to 3 million by the end of the period.
