Switching
to motorcoach travel for the 12,500 miles traveled annually by the
average automobile would reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 4.3 tons per
automobile annually. Motorcoaches
are the most fuel-efficient transportation mode in Motorcoaches
provide 184 passenger miles per gallon of fuel; single-occupant
automobiles, in contrast, achieve 28 passenger miles per gallon. Carbon
dioxide emissions are reduced
by an average of 85% per passenger mile for every person who chooses
motorcoach travel instead of driving alone. A
single motorcoach can replace
as many as 55 passenger cars on our
highways. A motorcoach passenger requires 82%
less fuel* than
a passenger in a hybrid car. *Numbers based on fuel used per passenger miles, also based on 100 passenger miles; Occupied seats: coach-55, car-1. Figures are cited from the “2006 Annual Report: Impacts of Motorcoach Industry on Society and the Economy,” produced by Nathan Associates and from “Comparison of Energy Use & CO2 Emissions From Different Transportation Modes,” produced by M.J. Bradley & Associates. The full studies are available online at www.buses.org.
