It is noticeable that the main reason for travel was commute to and from work, and price of travel played a key issue of American’s choices for the traveling public.
Looking at the bar chart, commuting to and from work received by far the highest percentage of American’s choices for travelling public, at 36%. However, personal reasons and shopping just accounted for 19% and 16% respectively. Social/recreation and visit friends/relatives just made up 10% and 6%.
Regarding the pie chart, the primary concern of Americans when they made the trips, was the cost of travelling, with 36%. By contrast, access to public transport and space for pedestrians saw the small percentage of American’s choices, at 6% and 8% respectively. Finally, safety concerns, aggressive drivers, and highway congestion were just under 20% of main issues for travelling public.
