How much energy is saved when I choose the train?

Get On The Right Track

According to Sustainable Tourism International, train travel requires only half the energy per passenger mile of air travel. The Missouri Transit Association adds that one full rail car can replace between 75-125 automobiles. Most large rail companies, such as Eurail and Via Rail (Canada), offer special deals for those who travel frequently or who want to visit several neighbouring countries.
