Academic Practice II: Pie Chart Illustration

The two pie charts compare the different modes of transportation people used to commute to one university for work, and study percentagewise in the year 2004, and 2009. In general, buses overtook cars to be commuters’ top choice for transport medium.

Overall, the bus, and the cars services were availed the most in 2004, and 2009. However, the choice for both train and bicycle were not very popular, and common.

In 2009, over a half of people (51%) travelling to the university used cars as their main mode of transport, making automobiles the most ideal one, followed by bus with 33%. However, the figure for users experienced a nearly two-fold decrease to 28% in 2004. The trend of preferring buses to cars could be owing to installation of a new bus stop in 2006 onward.

On the other hand, both bicycle and walking modes of transport seemed the least popular amongst all the people going to university. In 2004, train service availed was just 3%, while it increased slightly by 1% in the year 2009. However, a more substantial rise, from 9% to 16%, was seen in the bicycle users. In contrast, people travelling on foot was just a vice-versa, 4% in 2004, and 6% in 2009.
