The line graphs depicts information on the number of people commuting through the train in Sydney and the rate of trains that ran on time. The study covers the period from 1995 to 2004.

Generally, there was a significant upward movement in the trend of people traveling by train for nine years. It is also clear that the percentage of trains traveling on time recorded a remarkable decrease over the same period.

From 1995 to 1999, there was a gradual increase of train commuters starting at 250 Million during the initial year to over 265 Million. Within the next two years, the figure reached a high of 300 Million before it went back to its previous number in 2000. This was followed by a steady record until the end of the timeframe which was about 30 Million difference than that of its initial data in 1995.

Concurrently, the ratio of trains running on time from 93 % in 1995 made a decrement at about 86 % in 1997. This was followed by a rise of 7 % over the next two years. In 2000, it dipped to 85 % before going back to about 93 % in 2002. In 2004, the percentage dropped to as low as about 73 %. By comparison, this was four folds less than its proportion in 1995.
