Sustainability
Coach Travel is and has always been a fully sustainable and a very environmentally friendly form of transportation.
Hiring a coach is an extremely efficient way of transporting people. All of the vehicles that we operate meet or exceed current operating standards, and 95% of our fleet are equipped with Euro 6 low emission engines that comply all current city Ultra Low Emission Zones.
Here’s are some environmental coach travel facts:
- Just one coach-load of people can keep up to 50 cars off the roads.
- 56% of carbon dioxide emissions come from cars & taxis, just 3% come from buses & coaches.
- For coach, average carbon dioxide emissions per passenger per journey are around 1.5 times lower than rail, 5 times lower than air and 6 times lower than car travel.
- Just a 15% increase in coach passenger journeys by British people each year could lead to approximately 47 million fewer cars on the road, saving over a quarter of a million tonnes of carbon dioxide and significantly reducing congestion.
- Coaches transport around 600,000 children to school every day.
