Question: The table below shows employment patterns for males and females in New Zealand in 1993 and 2003
ANSWER:
The table illustrates the mean travel distance per annum by adults, categorized by transport methods, in 1977 and 2007. Overall, only cars, trains and taxis witnessed an increase between the two years. Additionally, the average distance traveled by cars was the highest for both years.
Regarding the increasing categories, surveyed individuals traveled 3500km by automobiles in 1977, which then more than doubled to 7100km by 2007. Moreover, trains accounted for a distance of around 1000km for both years, while the figure for taxis quadrupled from 200km to 800km for the selected period.
Concerning the remaining categories, adults reduced their walking distance from 400km in 1977 to 300km in 2007. Cyclists and motorcyclists shared the lowest results of 100km in 1977; subsequently, their respective figures declined to 80km and 90km in the following forty years. Finally, buses contributed to 800km of adults’ travel distance in 1977, followed by a plunge to 500km by 2007.
