Introduction

The diagrams provide data on the modes of transportation used and the frequency of car usage in the city of Edmonton.

Overview

The graphs generally depict a higher usage of cars compared to other means of transport, and a significant proportion of cars being used less frequently. The details, however, reveal some interesting patterns and contrasts.

Body 1

Looking at the first graph, it is evident that over half of the population prefers to use cars (55%), followed by cyclists and pedestrians at 35%. The remaining 10% is shared equally between bus and train commuters. This clearly indicates that private vehicles are the most popular mode of transport in Edmonton.

Body 2

As for car usage, the second graph illustrates that a considerable 45% of cars are used less than three times a week. In contrast, 25% of cars are used three to five times a week, and the remaining 30% are used daily. This suggests that while cars are the preferred mode of transport, they are not necessarily used on a daily basis by a large portion of the population.
