Emissions by Transport Mode: Key Data
Per 100km per passenger: individual car 185g CO₂, short-haul flight 259g, charter coach 28g, TGV 2.5g. A group of 40 people Paris-Lyon by TGV emits ~5kg CO₂ total. By plane: ~700kg — 140× more. Train is the rational choice for all distances below 700km in Europe.
Group Transport Strategies
Four effective strategies: (1) shuttle from a central hub (private coach or bus), (2) organised carpooling via dedicated app, (3) group train tickets (SNCF -15% to -30% for groups of 20+), (4) progressive 6-hour arrival window allowing everyone to choose the most suitable transport.
Eco Transport as Employer Branding
Communicating eco-responsible transport choices is a genuine employer branding opportunity. Present CO₂ data avoided, subsidise train tickets for participants living more than 200km away, share the seminar’s total carbon footprint. Seminaire.com integrates transport criteria into its destination and venue recommendations.
