(blue), Car (orange), Bike (yellow), Local Bus (green). Upon carefully looking at the given pie chart
you would notice that the percentage for metro is 42% and for bike and local bus combined is 24% +
23 % = 47%. Here, while describing you could say,

"As can be seen in the data of the pie chart, people mostly preferred to commute via the metro. While
the percentage of people commuting via bike and local bus is almost similar i.e 24% and 23%
respectively. It brings to our notice that the number of people travelling by a metro is same as the
combined number travelling using bike and local bus which leaves a small portion of people, as many
as 11 %, travelling by car."
