WRITING PORTFOLIO 3

The table and bar chart show how journey times in a city centre changed after improvements were made to the transport network, and the costs of using different forms of transport in the city. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant. Write at least 150 words. The table presents the time it takes to travel around the city center both before and after the transport network improves. Besides, the cost of using different forms of transport in the city is also displayed as a bar graph. Before the improved transport network, buses were the slowest means of transport, taking 28 minutes to get around the city, but thanks to improvements, the average time has dropped to 23 minutes. Next is the

tram with the most successful innovation, on average people who want to travel by tram in the city will take 22 minutes, but now it is only 16 minutes, down to 6 minutes compared to before. On the other hand, Cars saw a significant increase in time after the transport network was upgraded, from 10 minutes to 15 minutes. In addition, taxis also take longer to travel than before the improved transport network, namely increasing from 9 minutes to 12 minutes. However, taxis are still the fastest means of transportation in the city. The bar graph shows that taxis are the most expensive means of transport, paying €1.08 per kilometer on average. A little cheaper than a taxi is Car for almost €1.00. Meanwhile, trams and buses are much cheaper, per passenger paying an average cost of €0.5 and €0.4 per kilometer. Overall, after the transport network is completed, taxis are the fastest means of transport, but also the most expensive. Buses are the cheapest but take the longest. If you want to harmonize the two, the tram is a reasonable choice.
