Switching to motorcoach travel for the 12,500 miles traveled annually by the average automobile would reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 4.3 tons per automobile annually.
Motorcoaches are the most fuel-efficient transportation mode in North America when measured in terms of passenger miles per gallon of fuel.
Motorcoaches provide 184 passenger miles per gallon of fuel; single-occupant automobiles, in contrast, achieve 28 passenger miles per gallon.
Average transit buses achieve 32 passenger MPG, airlines achieve 42 passenger MPG, and commuter rail achieves 86 passenger MPG.
Motorcoaches emit the least carbon dioxide (CO2) per passenger mile when compared to other vehicles, and are on average 6 times more energy and fuel-efficient than single occupancy automobiles.
Carbon dioxide emissions are reduced by an average of 85% per passenger mile for every person who chooses motorcoach travel instead of driving alone.
Motorcoaches are 3 times more efficient in reducing CO2 output when compared to commuter rail, and 5 times more efficient than transit buses.
