Bus versus Aircraft

Travelling by bus is the most environmentally conscious way of travel. Greyhound buses in Australia are some of the most environmentally efficient travel operators. Studies have shown that one full coach has five times less CO2 emissions per passenger per kilometre than a jet aircraft on the same route, and for every full coach, there are 16 fewer cars on the road. The buses are also fuelled with the cleanest diesel on the Australian Market, BP 10PPM. I will take as example a trip from Melbourne to Sydney considering that the bus uses 1 litre of diesel per 4 km. The distamce is 900km so the bus is using 900 / 4 = 225 liters of diesel. With 60 people on the bus one person is using 3.75 litres of diesel per trip.
