Data Analysis Human Fieldwork This graph shows that the majority (just under 50%) of people came to school by car today. This could be because the car is the quickest and easiest way for most people to come to school as you can get from door to door conveniently. Bus and bike were also popular modes of transport but with only around half the number of people who came by car, perhaps because these options are slower. The consequences of these results could be increased pollution as the car is the least environmentally friendly mode of transport.
