Emissions by Transport Mode: Key Data
For every 100 km per passenger: individual car 185 g CO₂, short-haul flight 259 g, coach bus 28 g, high-speed train (TGV) 2.5 g. A group of 40 traveling Paris→Lyon by TGV emits ~5 kg CO₂ total. By plane: ~700 kg—140× more. For all journeys under 700 km in Europe, the train is the rational choice.
Effective Group Transport Strategies
Four proven strategies: (1) shuttle from a central hub (private coach or bus), (2) organized carpooling via dedicated app, (3) group train bookings (SNCF group rates: 15–30% off for 20+ people), (4) a 6-hour flexible arrival window so each participant can choose the most suitable transport without rigid schedules.
Eco-Friendly Transport and Employer Branding
Highlighting eco-friendly transport choices is a real employer branding opportunity. Share CO₂ savings data, subsidize train tickets for participants living over 200 km away, and communicate the total carbon footprint of your corporate trip. Seminaire.com includes transport criteria in its destination and venue recommendations.
