The chart below shows the number of trips made by children in one country in 1990 and 2010 to travel to and from school using different modes of transport.

The bar chart compares the frequency of commuting to schools by various transportation means by pupils at the age between 5 and 12 in 1990 and 2010.

Generally speaking, most of the pupils travelled to and from school by using cars or walking in both years. Moreover, while frequency of travelling to school by cars increased significantly, all other transportation methods saw an obvious decrease in number of trips made by pupils in 2010.

In 1990, walking was the most selected method for commuting to school, with over 12 million of trips made by pupils.This was almost staggering three times higher than the trips made using cars (marginally over 4 millions). Meanwhile, numbering at about 6 million, trips made by the other travelling methods were practically identical.

In 2010, it is clear that decrease could be noticed on the figures by all the transportation methods except being car passengers, which increased almost threefold, reaching 11 million to become the highest number in the chart. In stark contrast, the figure for walking, which was the most popular way commuting to school in 1990, although dropped over 2 times, was still the second preferred way in 2010. Lastly, travelling by cycling, walking and bus, and bus were at 2 million, 3 million and 5 million respectively.
