The chart shows ways that schoolchildren get to school in three different countries 
 
The chart presents information about how pupils in three different countries travel to 
school, separated into 6 different categories. 
For the United States and the United Kingdom, the majority of students travel by car 
to school, with figures of 40% and 39% respectively. In Australia only a quarter of 
students use this mode of transport. 
The school bus is the most common method of getting to school in Australia; in the 
USA the number is only slightly behind those travelling by car. Less than a quarter use 
the school bus in the UK. Almost four times as many Australian students walked to 
school compared to the USA, with the UK being closer to Australia at 15%. 
The remaining three categories showed only slight differences between the 
countries, with public transport being followed by cycling, and finally a category 
marked as 'other', which represents only about one twentieth of the total in each 
country. 
Overall, there are differences between the countries, but the school bus and cars 
represent the most common ways for students to travel to school.
