The graph below shows the different modes of transport used to travel to and from work in one European city in 1960, 1980 and 2000.

The given graph compares the percentage of passengers using train, car, tube or bus to move to and from work in a European city in 1960, 1980 and 2000.
As can be observed from the graph, more people travel to work by car, however, bus users show an opposite trend.
Looking at the graph more closely, only 17% of workers use train as a mean of transport in 1960. 20 years later, the percentage peaked up at over 25%, then declining to only 22% in 2000.There was no significant changes in the proportion of subway users , whose figure in 1960 witnessed a similarity as that of train users in 1980. And in the last surveyed year, the number accounted for a quarter of the city’s citizens.
Car was least used to travel to work in 1960 ( only 6% of worker traveled by this mean), however, the percentage was nearly fourfold in 20 yeas later and peaked at over 35% in 2000. Surprisingly, a downward trend could be seen in the proportion of bus travelers: nearly 40% of city’s people used bus to go to work in1980, but the figure plunged to only 15% in the next 40 years.
