Buses, Trains and Trams all use far fewer resources than cars. Increased use will lead to better service and you can read, listen and relax as you go to and fro.

Efficiency, civility and community are characteristics of cities with well run, resourced and patronised public transport systems. Trains and trams are 40+ times more energy-efficient than cars (and 90+ times more efficient than aircraft). So as we try to reduce our personal contribution of greenhouse gas emissions from car and aircraft use, public transport provides an ideal alternative that is available to all…

Why this action

is

important

Reducing the amount of Co2 and other greenhouse gasses entering the atmosphere is critical if we are to address climate change and the environmental havoc it is causing. Reduced car use, along with the creation of efficient public transport networks, also ensure that when higher oil prices arrive we have cost-effective mass transport systems available to all.
