In China , people’s living conditions in the cities have changed a lot in the ways of transportation in the past fifty years .
A survey shows that the number of people riding a bike or walking is always decreasing . In 1974 , more than 50% of people traveled to work on their own bikes , while by 2014 , less than 20% of travelers preferred cycling or walking to work . Now the number becomes much smaller .
At the same time , there was a large increase in the use of cars . In 1974 , very few people had a car . By 1994 , about a quarter of travelers drove to work . This increased again , until 2014 , about one third of travelers drove to work .
What has caused these changes ? The main reason is that people’s living conditions have changed greatly . With the increasing number of people going by bus or car , fewer and fewer people would like to be cyclists or walkers .
As people enjoyed the convenience（便利）and speed of buses and cars , they are less likely to have patience and interest in cycling and walking . In the future , with the development of science and technology , more changes will happen in people’s everyday lives .
