Sample 1:

The bar chart and pie chart give information about why US residents travelled and what travel problems they experienced in the year 2009.

It is clear that the principal reason why Americans travelled in 2009 was to commute to and from work. In the same year, the primary concern of Americans, with regard to the trips they made, was the cost of travelling.

Looking more closely at the bar chart, we can see that 49% of the trips made by Americans in 2009 were for the purpose of commuting. By contrast, only 6% of trips were visits to friends or relatives, and one in ten trips were for social or recreation reasons. Shopping was cited as the reason for 16% of all travel, while unspecific ‘personal reasons’ accounted for the remaining 19%.

According to the pie chart, price was the key consideration for 36% of American travellers. Almost one in five people cited safety as their foremost travel concern, while aggressive driving and highway congestion were the main issues for 17% and 14% of the travelling public. Finally, a total of 14% of those surveyed thought that access to public transport or space for pedestrians were the most important travel issues.

Sample 2:

The bar chart compares the figures for Americans going out for five reasons and the pie chart illustrates the percentage of six problems that concerned them when travelling in 2009. Overall, it is clear that the main reason why people in the US went out in 2009 is to commute to work, and the cost of travelling is the problem concerning them the most.

Looking first at the bar graph, the proportion of Americans going out for commuting to work stood at 49%, while the figure for those leaving their house for personal reasons accounted for 19%. In addition, the rate of people in the US going out for shopping and recreation made up 16% and 10%, respectively, while visiting friends or relatives accounted for the lowest percentage, at only 6%.

Turning to the pie chart, the cost of travelling was the most concerning problem of Americans when going out, with the figure making up 36%, while the proportion of safety concerns is half of that, at 19%. In addition, 17% of US citizens were concerned about aggressive drivers, while highway congestion made 14% of them worried when leaving their house. Access to public transportation and places for people to walk accounted for the lowest percentages, at only 8% and 6%, respectively.

Sample 3:

The provided charts offer insights into the reasons for travel and the primary concerns faced by the traveling public in the United States during the year 2009. The data is presented through a bar chart illustrating travel purposes and a pie chart highlighting key issues.

Notably, the primary motivation for travel among Americans in 2009 was commuting to and from work. Simultaneously, the major concern for the traveling public during their trips revolved around the cost associated with travel.

Examining the bar chart in detail reveals that almost half of the trips made by Americans in 2009, precisely 49%, were attributed to commuting. Conversely, visits to friends or relatives accounted for a mere 6%, while social or recreational trips constituted one in ten journeys. Shopping emerged as the purpose for 16% of all travel, leaving the remaining 19% for unspecific ‘personal reasons.’

Turning attention to the pie chart, it becomes evident that cost was the primary consideration for 36% of American travelers. Safety closely followed, with nearly one in five people, or 19%, expressing it as their foremost travel concern. Aggressive driving and highway congestion were significant issues for 17% and 14% of the traveling public, respectively. Additionally, 14% of respondents identified access to public transport or space for pedestrians as the most crucial travel issues.

Sample 4:

The bar chart shows why American people chose to travel, and the pie chart shows the main issues for the travelling public in the USA, both for 2009. The trend suggests that the reason and price were the main issues for travel in the United States. It is clear that commuting from work was reported as the biggest contribution to travel, at 49%. People who went travelling for personal reasons and shopping accounted for 35% when these two groups are combined. However, interaction with friends and relatives only accounted for 25% less than the above categories. And social and recreational activities took up only 6%, which was the lowest figure by more than 43%. The travelling public’s main issues were related to price and safety, with 55% of respondents reporting these two issues. While other issues accounted for a relatively small part. Only 17% of the respondents reported issues with aggressive drivers, while highway congestion accounted for even less at 14% of the issues reported. The percentage of access to public transport and space for pedestrians was much lower than the other categories at less than 10% for both. To conclude, price and commuting time were the dominant factors relating to travel in the US in 2009.
