The chart illustrates the average journey distance of 5 to 15-year-olds in the United States from 1970 until 2020. Overall, the distance travelled by bus, car, train and taxi increased, but the distance travelled by walking and cycling decreased.
In 1970, the average trip by bus was approximately 28 miles, and this grew steadily throughout the period to finish at roughly 38 miles in 2020. The distance travelled by car increased from about 20 miles in 1970 to around 33 in 2000 but from that point fell steadily to finish with approximately 27. Despite fluctuations, the figures for trains and taxis increased by around 5 and 15 miles respectively.
Cycling began with about 38 miles on average but saw a steady drop until 2020 when its final number was roughly 18 miles. The distance travelled by walking decreased from 1970 to 2000, with around 16 and 5 miles respectively; however, it increased from then to reach roughly 8 miles in 2020.
