Recap
- Eco-mobility = choosing the most suitable and least polluting transport mode.
- The first 4 km are the most polluting: prefer walking, cycling or public transport.
- Carpooling: divides costs and emissions by the number of passengers.
- Car-sharing: hire a vehicle on demand, only pay for the time you use.
- Multimodality: combine car + train + bike + public transport depending on the journey.
- Trains emit about 10 times less CO2 per passenger than a private car.
- Park-and-ride car parks let you leave your car on the outskirts and continue by public transport.
- Eco-mobility saves: fuel, insurance, parking, tolls and stress.
