Motorists have been urged to ditch just one car trip a month to help the UK achieve its Net Zero climate change targets. A transport group claims switching from a car to public transport would save enough cash to build 33 NHS hospitals.
Consumer research conducted by the Confederation for Passenger Transport (CPT) found that six in 10 believe that increasing the use of public transport is important to help the UK reduce its carbon emissions by 75 per cent by 2030. Whilst almost half of car drivers have considered taking the bus more often in order to be greener, according to the CPT Decarbonisation Dividend’ report.
Written by WPI Economics, the report demonstrates the vital role increased bus and coach travel has to play in the UK reaching its targets.
