The chart below shows the passenger kilometres traveled by different means of transport in the UK in 1990 and 2000.
Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.
The bar chart compares how many passenger kilometres were travelled via five different transport modes in the UK, comparing 1990 and 2000, alongside overall total travel distance.
Overall, total passenger kilometres rose over the decade. Bus was the most used individual transport type in both years, while bicycle and motorbike were the least popular modes. All transport types saw an increase in passenger kilometres except bicycle and motorbike, which declined slightly.
Looking at individual modes in detail, bus travel was the highest among non-total categories, at around 43 billion kilometres in 1990, rising to roughly 46 billion in 2000. Rail travel saw a larger proportional increase, growing from approximately 38 billion to 46 billion kilometres over the period. Air travel also grew, from under 5 billion to around 7 billion kilometres.
By contrast, passenger kilometres for bicycles fell marginally from about 4 billion to 3 billion, while motorbike use dropped slightly from 5 billion to 4 billion. Overall, total UK passenger kilometres climbed from just under 100 billion in 1990 to over 110 billion in 2000.
