Bus Touring Company Eco Agendas

Large Bus Touring companies may pursue 1 or more of the following:
    1. ....are significantly more fuel-efficient per passenger than individual cars or even trains by reducing overall fuel consumption & emissions e.g. a bus can be almost 7 times more efficient than a car in passenger miles/gallon terms.

    2. .... produce considerably less carbon dioxide/passenger mile vs. planes or cars. e.g. studies show buses can reduce carbon footprint by almost 77.5% compared to planes for a greener long-distance travel option.

    3. .... contribute lower noise pollution vs. multiple cars, motorcycles, or Asia's cities' skooter or tuk-tuk hordes ➡︎➡︎➢
for a more peaceful environment. Further, by reducing the number of vehicles on road, buses decrease overall road wear & tear, which indirectly reduces pollution from road maintenance activities.

    4. .... many bus tour company's buses use cleaner CNG & bio-fuels & even hybrid & electric models. 

    5. Influx of tourist & bus company monies facilitates upgraded infrastructure: roads, waste processing, water quality, etc. 

OTOH, some communities restrict LBT, to certain roads, roots, and parking areas to insulate local communities.

BEWARE:  Greenwashing describes all businesses including travel businesses that fraudulently ‘pretend’ to practice ESG, but really don’t.
