Coach Hire & the Environment
Travelling by road and ferry dramatically reduce the amount of carbon emissions produced .
For example a journey to Paris by coach will produce 10.6 kilos of carbon per passenger journey, compared to 52 kilos by air. A trip to Vienna just 22 kilos by coach compared to 190.9 kilos when flying.
On average, research by the Edinburgh Centre for Carbon Management reveals the carbon footprint for coach travel is 5.58 times lower than the cost of flying.
