In 1795, train traffic was the most common transport type in the Netherland which contributed the largest proportion of journey around 35 percent. Car and bicycle also were the main transport types in this country with 25 percent and 23 percent respectively. While other just made 5 percent of journey.

Model Essay:

Paragraph 1: Description of the graphic:

The two pie charts (1975 and 2000) compare the relative usage of three different specific transport types (car, train, bicycle) for journeys made in the Netherlands. Since these three categories did not add up to 100%, there is a fourth "miscellaneous" category for all other forms of public transport.

Paragraph 2: General observations of the data

Overall, there was a three-fold increase in the percentage of trips taken by car between the two years, from just over one-quarter in 1975 to nearly three-quarters in 2000. This largely displaced bicycling, which declined nearly five-fold, from over 25% to about 6%, and train trips, which decreased about 50%, from 35% to 15%. The miscellaneous category was rather insignificant, 5% or less, for both years.

Paragraph 3: Specific details

In 1975, the largest percentage was taken by train travel, amounting to 35%. In second place was private cars, with 25% and a close third was cycling, with 23%. In 2000, the pattern was substantially changed, with cars being the dominant mode of transport with a 75% share. Trains had 15%, and cycling, 6%.
