How does coach travel affect the environment?
Research shows that coach travel is the greenest way to travel on your holiday, with modern touring coaches emitting lower levels of ozone damaging carbon dioxide per passenger kilometre travelled than any other form of transport – including trains, private cars or planes. The Coach Tourism Council say that going on holiday by coach is a massive 20 times less polluting than travelling by car and forty times less polluting than air travel (*Based on fuel consumption of 10mpg for a coach carrying 40 passengers; car fuel consumption of 40mpg carrying two passengers and a Boeing 737-800 fully laden on a short-haul flight) – all the more reason to travel by coach.
