Transport Usage Trends in the UK: A Comparative Analysis of 1965 and 2005

The pie charts depict the changes in the proportion of transport usage from 1965 to 2005, based on research conducted on the main road bridge in the UK.

The data from 1965 shows that private cars were the most commonly used mode of transport in this specific region, constituting almost half of the total share. Over the course of four decades, this proportion increased by 30%, reaching three-quarters of the entire pie chart by 2005.

In 1965, public transport and lorries were also widely utilized, accounting for 24% and 27% respectively. However, these modes of transport experienced varying degrees of decline over the following four decades. By 2005, their usage had decreased to 11% and 6% respectively.

Recreational vehicles, on the other hand, consistently maintained the lowest preference between 1965 and 1985, with a usage rate of only 4%. However, by the final year of the analysis, their usage had risen to 9%. Despite this significant increase, recreational vehicles remained one of the least popular modes of transport in 2005.
