Transport in the European Union
The chart shows CO2 emissions per passenger kilometre for various methods of transport in the European Union while the pie chart shows European Union
spending on transport . Flying by air produces by far the greatest CO2 emissions , approximately three times as much as passenger cars which are the next
largest producers!

Very little is spent by the EU on air travel while roads make up more than half of the EU transport budget . 

Trains produce about three times less CO2 emissions per passenger kilometre than passenger cars and eight times less than air travel . Nearly a third of EU
transport funds are spent on railways . 

Ships are a clean form of transport and produce about the same amount of CO2 per passenger kilometre as trains do . However , only 2 percent of EU funds
are spent on ports . A further one percent is spent on inland waterways . 

Coaches are the cleanest form of transport . Emissions of CO2 per passenger kilometre from coaches are half those of buses . Buses emit less than half as
much CO2 per passenger kilometre as cars . The European union spends 10 percent of its transport budget on public transport , such as buses and
coaches .

Commuting inside and outside London in 2009
The graphs show the time it takes employees to commute to their workplaces , and the mode of transport they use . Figures are given for both inside and
outside London . 

For the majority of the UK , the number of commuters decreases as commuting time increases . Almost half of the commuters take less than 15 minutes to
get to their place of work , while only around 3 percent spend over an hour commuting . Indeed , three quarters of commuters outside London reach work
within half an hour . In London , the trend is very different . The figures show that it takes much longer to get to work . Less than half of the commuters have
reached work within half an hour , with the percentage reaching work in less than fifteen minutes significantly lower than the percentage reaching work in
thirty minutes . Moreover , forty percent of people spend up to an hour commuting , with an equal proportion in the 30-45 minute bracket and the 45-60
minute bracket , and a further sixteen percent commute for over an hour – over five times the proportion outside London . 

Regarding the mode of transport , the car is dominant both inside and outside London , significantly so outside London , where other modes of transport
account for less than a quarter of journeys . Of the other modes of transport , walking and taking the bus are more common than cycling , taking the train and
using the underground . Inside London , the car accounts for about one third of commuting journeys . However , public transport is used for about half of the
journeys , the train and underground being more popular than the bus .
