The graph below shows the different modes of transport used to travel to and from work in one European city in 1950, 1970 and 1990.
SAMPLE ANSWER
The bar chart compares the percentage of travelers using different modes of transport to commute to and from offices in one European city in the years 1950, 1970 and 1990.
Overall, the chart indicates the growing use of a car from being the least favorite transport in 1950 to the most popular in 1990. On the other hand, the preference for walking and riding a bike experienced a significant decline over the period.
In 1950, the percentage of people using cars to travel to and from work was the lowest, at around 7%. By contrast, the rate for those who walked on foot was at the highest point of exactly 35%. Approximately 27% of people travelled by bikes, compared to precisely 20% of bus commuters.
The proportion of people traveling by car reached its highest point of the whole bar chart at around 37% in 1990, after a significant increase of about 18% in 1970. In 1990, the figures of people riding bikes and walking on foot decreased to about 7% and exactly 10% respectively. Commuters using buses increased by around 7% in 1970 before dropping slightly in 1990, to at 18%.
