The bar chart indicates the percentage of commuters using four types of transport: train, car, tube and bus in London in I960, 1980 and 2000. Certain patterns are evident from those figures.
Car is a popular transport in London and the percentage of people who driving car to work bear an upward trend from 1960 to 2000. In 1960, there was only 7% commuters using car. But the figure jumped to 23% dramatically in 1980 and continued to soar in 2000(38%)
On the contrary,the figure of bus decreased considerably during the same period. In 1960, approximately 34% of people choose bus as a basic transport to work. However, the figure dropped noticeably by 7% to just 27% during the next 20 years, before a sharp fall to 15% in 2000.
Comparing to car and bus, the percentage of train and tube remained relatively stable. The figure of train in 1980(28%) outpaced that in 1960(19%) by 9%. But in 2000, there was a slight decrease to 22%. The percentage of tube had a opposite situation : the figure in 1980(22% ) was 0.6% less than that in 1960(28% ) .But the year 2000 saw people taking tube rose slightly to 25%.
Overall, we can see that car is becoming more and more popular whilst bus gradually lost its dominant role. Although the use of train and tube underwent ups and downs during 1960 - 2000, they are still the main transport and shoulder an heavy responsibility in London.
