The table illustrates the distance in kilometers traveled by passengers using five different modes of transport in a European country across three specific years: 1995, 2005, and 2015.
Overall, rail and air travel experienced significant growth over the period, whereas bus travel saw a consistent decline, and the total distance traveled by passengers increased steadily from 103 to 130 kilometers.
Rail travel showed the most consistent upward trend, rising from 38 kilometers in 1995 to 48 kilometers in 2005, and reaching 60 kilometers by 2015. Similarly, air travel saw a substantial increase, jumping from a mere 2 kilometers in 1995 to 8 kilometers in 2005, and more than doubling again to reach 20 kilometers by the end of the period. In contrast, bus travel, which was the most popular mode in 1995 at 56 kilometers, gradually fell to 50 kilometers in 2005 and further declined to 42 kilometers in 2015.
Regarding the remaining transport types, bicycle and motorbike usage remained relatively low throughout the two decades. Bicycle travel fluctuated slightly, starting at 2 kilometers, dipping to 1 kilometer in 2005, and returning to 2 kilometers in 2015. Motorbike travel followed a similar pattern, decreasing from 5 kilometers in 1995 to 3 kilometers in 2005, before recovering to 6 kilometers in 2015.
