The graph provides information on the increases in traffic in the Netherlands from 1950 to 2010. Overall, it can be seen that car traffic was an upward trend; it had increased significantly since 1950, while other types of transportation had a little improvement.
In 1950, all types of traffic started off at the same point (0%). Car traffic gradually rose to 20% in 1960, while the others slightly moved up to around 15%, except for other public transportation that rose up only 4%. After that, between 1960 and 2010, there was a significant increase in car traffic when it went up to over 130% in 2010. This made a huge difference between car traffic and the other kinds of transportation, which they had a slight similar pattern. During this time, in 1970, train and bicycle traffic went up to about 15% and 13% respectively, and they increased moderately over the next 30 years. However, other public transportation had remained steady between 1960 and 1970, and then slightly increased from 3% to 16% in 2010.
