【正确答案】
The table provides an overview of the changes in some common ways of travel during the period of five years from 2007 to 2012, by comparing figures of the average distance travelled per person per year in different modes.
As we can see from the table, three modes of travel including walking, bicycling, and taking local bus showed a downward trend while the rest revealed an upward trend, though the ranges of increase differed. First of all, the average walking distance fell from 255 miles in 2007 to 237 miles in 2012. The average distance of travelling by bike decreased by 10 miles and that by local bus saw the greatest drop by 155 miles. Secondly, the use of car went tup drastically from 3,199 miles in 2007 to 4,806 miles in 2012. Those who traveled by train, long distance bus and taxi also witnessed an increase by 77 miles, 70 miles and 29 miles respectively.
As indicated in the graph, the total average distance per person rose by 1,735 miles from 2007 to 2012. All in all, people experienced great changes in terms of the modes of traveling over a span of five years.
