Model Answer – Travel in Wales

This is a table which gives us information about different methods of travel in Wales in 1990 and 2005. Altogether, in 1990 people travelled 4,740 miles compared to 6,475 in 2005.

In 1990 cars were the most popular form of transport followed by local buses and trains. By 2005 cars were still the most important form, increasing from over 3,000,000 to just under 4,000,000 miles, but trains came next followed by local buses. Local buses were the only form of transport which actually dropped in numbers. Coach travel and taxis both had substantial increases with taxis tripling the miles traveled. Some forms of travel did not change much during the period under investigation, particularly walking and bicycle riding. For walking the figures were 255,000 and 258,000 miles respectively while bicycling increased from 51 to 52 thousand miles per year.

People travelled more in 2005 than they did in 1990, and they used all forms of transport more with the exception of local buses.
