The graph below shows the number of trips made by children in one country to travel 
to and from school in 1990 and 2010 using various modes of transport. Summarise the 
information by selecting and reporting the main features and make comparisons 
where relevant. 
Travel to and from school by children aged 5-12
The given column graph illustrates the number of trips made by children in two separate 
years, which are 1990 and 2010 in a particular country. The vertical axis represents the 
number of trips in million per year and the horizontal stands for the different modes of 
transport like bus, car, walking, bicycle and, bus and walking together.
In 1990, the trips made by bus were dramatically higher than by other modes. About 12 
million trips were made by bus, which was two times more than those made by walking and 
cycling each, and three times more than those made by car. About 7 million trips were made 
by bus and walking together.
Two decades later, in 2010, the car trips superseded all other modes and became 
approximately 12.5 million, an increase of 8.5 million from the figures of 1990. The bus trips 
decreased to half and became 6 million. Trips made by bus and walking together also 
decreased by 1 million from the figures of 1990. Trips made on foot also decreased from 6 to 
3 million and those made by cycling reduced to 2 million. 
On the whole, the column graph shows that bus was the most popular form of transport to 
go to and from school for children in 1990. However, in 2010, the car became the most 
popular mode.
