The diagram below gives information about the proportion of passenger kilometers travelled by different models of transport in Shanghai in 1996 and one possible projection for their use in 2030.
Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main features and make comparisons where relevant.
The proportion of passenger kilometers by various modes of transport in Shanghai in 1996 along with a forecast for their use in 2030 are displayed in the bar chart. Generally, the uses of bicycles, walking, scooters, and buses which was the highest figure in 1996, are predicted to decrease in 2030, whereas passenger kilometers by train are expected to increase as well as car use will become the most popular means of transport.
It is clear from the chart that the most common type of transport in 1996 was the bus with 39%, but it is estimated to drop to 22% in 2030. Similarly, walking accounted for 7% of passenger kilometers which is expected to decline to 3%, as well as the figure for bicycles will have significantly dropped from 27% to 3%. Regarding passenger kilometers by scooter, this figure is forecasted to fall from 12% to 7%.
In contrast, the prediction for the use of cars is surprisingly more than 3 times higher by 2030 which growing from 15% to 52%, becoming the most commonly used transport mode. Likewise, passenger kilometers by train accounted for 0% in 1996, while by 2030, there will be an increase in this figure to 13%.

Data about the utilization of various means of transport in Shanghai in 1996 as well as a prediction for 2030 are indicated in the table. Overall, passenger kilometers by walking, bicycle, scooter, and bus, which accounted for the highest figure in 1996, are expected to fall. Meanwhile, the use of train is forecast to grow, and car use will have risen to become the most commonly used transport mode.
Looking at the data, it can be seen that the figures for walking and scooters will likely decrease by about half from 7% to 3% and 12% to 7% respectively. In 1996, bicycle use accounted for 27% of passenger kilometers, but by 2030 it is also expected to fall to 3% and become the least common type of transport along with walking. The bus was the most popular form of transport in 1996 with 39%, however; there is likely to be a significant drop to 22% by 2030.
By contrast, trains did not operate in Shanghai in 1996, but by 2030, they are projected to make up 13% of passenger kilometers. In a similar way, the use of cars is expected to have more than tripled by 2030, rising from 15% to 52% to become the most used form of transport.

The bar chart displays the percentage of passenger kilometers traveled by various means of transport in Shanghai in 1996 as well as forecast for their use in 2030. Overall, passenger kilometers by bus, walking, scooter and bicycle were the highest figures in 1996, will fall expectedly in 2030. However, the proportion of cars and trains which were the lowest in 1996, is estimated to increase as cars will become the most popular vehicle to be used.
Looking at the graph, the amount of the most used transport - buses, started at 39% in 1996, is expected to decline to 22% in 2030. Similar changes can be seen in the figure for bicycles, accounted for 27% then projected to fall sharply to 3% afterward. Walking and scooter passenger kilometers are also expected to fall nearly a half from 7% to 3% and 12% to 7% respectively.
By contrast, trains were not being used in 1996 at all, but by 2030, they are forecasted to reach up to 13% of passengers per kilometer. Likewise, the prediction of cars is three times higher from 15% to 52%, making it the most common model of transport by Shanghai people in 2030.
