    The table demonstrates how different modes of travel changed in England in 15 years spanning from 1985 to 2000.In general,the modes are classified into two kinds in terms of average miles travelled per person per year:one enjoyed rising popularity while the other decreasing.
    The travel modes which gained popularity in the period included cars,long distance buses,trains,taxis and others.Cars remained top among the modes in the 15 years,with its average miles increasing considerably from 3,199 in 1985 to 4,806 in 2000.Long distance buses and taxis seemed to be warmly welcomed by travelers,so average miles travelled in the two modes almost tripled.
    Travels by walking,bicycles and local buses lost travelers’favor in the one and a half decade.Average travelling distance by local buses suffered the biggest decrease,dropping from 429 to 274,whilst the number of miles by walking and bikes fell mildly from 255 to 237 and from 51 to 41 respectively.Despite the decreases,however,the total miles travelled grew from 4,740 to 6,475.
    In brief,the total travelling distance in the country grew in 15 years when cars,long distance buses,trains,taxis and other modes of travel were more popular and walking,bicycling and local transportation less popular.
