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(增为原来的三倍).Travels by walking, bicycles and local buses lost travelers’ favor in the one and a half decade.
