Emissions by Transport Mode
Per 100 km per passenger: individual car 185 g CO₂, short-haul flight 259 g, bus 28 g, high-speed train 2.5 g. For a group of 40 from Paris to Lyon by train: ~5 kg CO₂ total. By plane: ~700 kg—140 times more. For distances under 700 km in Europe, the train is the rational choice.
Group Transport Strategies
Four strategies: (1) shuttle from a central hub, (2) organized carpooling via an app, (3) group train tickets (15–30% discount), (4) staggered arrivals over a 6-hour window.
