A university has collected data to summarise the predominant methods of transportation that students use to travel to the main campus. Students were asked to respond to one category only. In cases where multiple methods were used, students were asked to indicate the method that represented the majority of their travel time.

Data were collected for each case using the above coding scheme. Of the mean, median and mode, which summary measure(s) are appropriate to describe these data? Justify your answer.
