Possible Answer for Task 1
Full Answer
The graph shows the percentage of travellers in a European city who
used bus, car, bike and foot to commute to and from work in the years 1950, 1970
and 1990.
The amount of people using cars grew considerably, rising from just over 5% in
1950 to 25% in 1970, and then climbing to almost 40% by 1990.
However, the amount of people using bikes decreased. Over 25% of commuters
cycled in 1950, but this had fallen to less than 10% by 1990. Similarly, the amount
of people who walked to work fell from more than a third in 1950 to about 10% in
1990.
The amount of people using buses initially rose in 1970 to about 30%, but had
dropped to about 17% by 1990.
The graph indicates the growing use of cars for commuting and the
corresponding fall in the popularity of other modes of transport since 1950.
