The line graph depicts the rates of different modes of transport users who traveled to a certain nation over a 20-year period, starting from 1989.
Overall, while the proportions of travelers using rail, coach and ferry increased during the period given, the figure for air transport decreased within that time frame. Additionally, though the percentage of tourists utilizing cars rose appreciably before seeing a steep decline in the middle of the period, most tourists used cars for the better part of the period. In stark contrast, the least rate of travelers was observed in the usage of ferries.
Focusing on upward trends first, initially, around 35% of tourists used rail, whereas the figures for coach and ferry were about 10% and 5% respectively. After that, the demand for rail transport grew substantially, surpassing the percentage of car users and reaching an all-time high of virtually 60% in 2009. By stark contrast, the use of coach experienced a noticeable rise to approximately a quarter in the end, whereas the figure for ferry utilization rose moderately to roughly 12% prior to witnessing a slight drop to just under 10% in the year 2009.
Regarding car and airplane usage, while the former started the period with about 48% of travelers, the latter accounted for two-fifths of airplane users. Having been subject to a steep increase to a chart high of just over 60% in 1999, the figure for car use saw a 10-percent fall by 2009. Conversely, airplanes underwent a two-fold decrease in their percentage of passengers from 40% to 20% between 1989 and 2009.
