T-1A1a-6 - Shift from car to railway
Background¶
IPCC WG3 definition: M-1A-3 - Public Transit.
Railways are a highly efficient mode of transport. Regardless of fuel source, railways generate significantly less emissions than passenger transport by car.
Railways are a highly efficient mode of transport. Regardless of fuel source, railways generate significantly less emissions emissions than passenger transport by car. Replacing longer - distance car trips with railways will not only reduce greenhouse gas emissions but also air and noise pollution.
