Public transport
From TipThePlanet
Public transport is the central plank of any sustainable transport policy. Many environmental and social problems are caused by our dependence on the car and subsequent rising traffic levels.
Apart from the obvious environmental benefits, public transport can also boost recruitment, staff retention and business productivity. It can also provide improved access to jobs, training, leisure, and local services such as shops, libraries and doctors’ surgeries.
Whether you're in your home city, or on vacation, public transportation can be a good way to travel. In most cities, public transportation is much easier, less stressful, and more cost-effective than travelling by car or taxi.
