Coach also rose but in a significant way, from just about 20 kilometers to more than 30 kilometers. However, other modes of transportation had the contrast trends. Car at first had the high rate and rocketed at about 55 kilometers in 1999; nevertheless, it decreased by about 15 kilometers from 1999 to 2009.  Air went down dramatically throughout the period from about 35 kilometers to just 20 kilometers despite the high start at the second place.
