IELTS TASK 1: Bar chart (Means of transport)
The bar chart compares the percentage of people using different types of transport to commute in a European city in 1960, 1980, and 2000. The four types of transport are bus, car, bike, and foot.
Overall, while the percentage of people traveling on foot was the highest in 1960, traveling by bus became the most popular way of commuting in 1980. Additionally, cars were the most preferred mode of transport in 2000.
The percentage of people traveling on foot decreased from about 36% in 1960 to around 9% in 2000. Likewise, traveling by bike decreased in popularity, from 26% of commuters to only 6% between 1960 and 2000. On the contrary, cars became more and more popular as a means of transport, rising from 6% of people traveling by car to almost 40% in the span of 4 decades. In 1960, approximately 17% of people commuted to work by bus. This percentage then increased to more than 25% in 1980 before decreasing to around 18% in 2000.
