Every bar starts at 0 — only then do the heights match the values. The largest is “Bike” at 12, the smallest “Car” at 3. The bars stand apart because the categories are separate things.
Formal view

You can read and create bar charts when you can recognise the underlying objects, select valid rules and check each step for equivalence or logical implication.

Why does it work?

This skill sits on a prerequisite network. If a step is unstable, repair the missing prerequisite instead of merely doing more items of the same type.
