The bar chart illustrates many significant changes in modes of transport used by city dwellers from 1950 to 1990. A very noticeable trend was the steady decrease in transportation by bicycle and on foot. In 1950, more than 50% of people traveled to work on their own. However, by 1990, less than 20% of travelers were cycling or walking to work. During the same period, there was a large increase in the use of automobiles. In 1950, very few people owned a car. By 1970, approximately one out of every four travelers drove to work. This increased again, until 1990, when one in three travelers drove to work. The increasing popularity of taking a bus or car, likely caused the decrease in cycling and walking. As people enjoyed the convenience and speed of buses and cars, they likely had less patience and interest in cycling and walking. The number of people of taking the bus increased from 1950 to 1970, and decreased from 1970 to 1990. From 1950 to 1970, buses grew in popularity. But by 1990, traveling by car had become so popular that all other means of transport were less frequently used.

This is a pie chart that shows the proportion of the meat sold in a supermarket. The total meat sold in supermarket is classified into six types as follows: chicken, pork, beef, lamb, fish and others.
Overall, chicken has the largest proportion, which accounts for 40%; while others has the smallest percentage, at 2%.
As can be seen in the pie chart, chicken, which makes up 40%, is the most popular among the total meat sold, then next is pork with 20%, followed by beef, constituting 18%; and finally come lamb, fish and others at 15%, 5% and 2% respectively. It should be noted that the sale of pork is half as much as that of chicken. And it is also interesting to note that the sale of chicken is 20 times as much as that of others.
It can be concluded from the pie chart that chicken is the most commonly bought meat while others is the least commonly bought meat.
