From above chart, we can know public transport mode share in journey to work in Sydney is the best position of capital cities in Australia, although the the number was only 23.3%. It means 66.7% of the people used private cars to work in 2011. From 1976 to 1996, less and less people used public transport to work in whole Australia. The situation became better after 1996.
Sydney CBD is chosen as a sample in this study, because it has the most density of working population in Sydney.
The chart shows most of the city workers come from west Sydney and travel up to 25km. Around 25% of them walk to work and another 25% of them drive to work. Only 20% of city works travel by train and less than 20% of them travel by bus.
The charts show Sydney sider rely on cars rather than public transport. There is a positive point that 20% of city workers walk to work. Walking is much healthier and more sustainable than cars. Cycling figure is still low, because of the incomplete cycleways and up-and-down natural terrain of Sydney. Complete cycleways may help with increasing cycling as transport mode.
Although Sydney has the best scenario of public transport mode share in journey to work, the public transport mode share is still very low compared to using private cars. Reliable public transport facilities are need in Sydney.
