Changes in Daily Journeys by Transport Type in a European City (1985-2015)
The chart provides information on the average number of daily journeys taken using different types of transport in a European city in 1985 and 2015. Overall, there were significant changes in the preferred modes of transportation over the 30-year period. In 1985, the most popular mode of transport was cars, with an average of around 300 journeys per day. However, this number decreased dramatically to only about 150 journeys per day in 2015. On the other hand, the use of bicycles saw a remarkable increase, from approximately 100 journeys per day in 1985 to over 250 journeys per day in 2015. This indicates a shift towards more sustainable and eco-friendly transportation options. Public transport, including buses and trains, also experienced a noticeable increase in daily journeys. In 1985, there were around 150 journeys per day, which rose to nearly 200 journeys per day in 2015. This suggests that people are increasingly relying on public transportation for their daily commute. Interestingly, the number of journeys taken by walking remained relatively stable over the years, with around 100 journeys per day in both 1985 and 2015. This indicates that walking continues to be a popular mode of transport for short distances. In conclusion, the chart highlights the changing trends in transportation preferences in a European city between 1985 and 2015. The data shows a decrease in car usage, an increase in bicycle and public transport usage, and a consistent preference for walking. These changes reflect a growing awareness of the need for sustainable and environmentally-friendly transportation options.
