And here's my response:

The line graph compares the figures for bus and car use in Vancouver between 1990 and 2015.

Overall, there was a downward trend in the use of bus; whereas, travelling by car witnessed a significant increase over the period.

Based on the statistics, in 1990 the percentage of car travel stood at 63% that nearly tripled that of bus travel, at 22%. Over a decade, the figures for both car and bus use met at 43% which showed a remarkable decline by 20% in the use of bus and a considerable rise by the same amount in car travel in 2010.

Over the rest of the period, the figure for car continued the upward trend to reach a peak at 80% in 2015. In contrast, the number for bus gradually fell to 25%, just nearly the same as the initial number of car travel. Thus, there were two opposite trends for car and bus use in which a significant growth by nearly 60% in car use and a noticeable fall by about 40% in bus use were seen over a quarter of the century.
