More go collectively – but not everywhere

By the year 2030, the impact of the transport sector on the climate will have decreased by 70% compared to 2010. It is slow because, according to the Greenlandic Association, we have not reached than 17% so far.

"Here, I think that collective travel is essential, with transport passing from car traffic to public traffic, walking and cycling, but it is lagging behind," said Per Östborn, project manager at Green. Motorists.

According to the association's 2030 local indicators, compared to trends in the supply and volume of travel across the country, group travel is increasing especially in Dalarna and Stockholm. Public transport has an occupancy rate of 36% and 32% respectively.

The trend is also apparent in Kalmar, Skåne, Uppland, Västerbotten, Västmanland and Västra Götaland, while county traffic increased as travelers became more numerous.

In addition, the situation in Blekinge and Jönköping County shows that green motorists are "somewhat disturbing". Travel is increasing at the same time, despite the fact that county traffic has not increased supply, which in the long run may affect travelers, Per Östborn said.

"If the residents want to go public and the offer is not increased, the vehicles become more and more full, so it will be a bad travel experience.It is the same risk that". in Stockholm, it seems that there are more people in the subway, trains and buses.The traffic has not increased at the same rate as travel.

For Gotland, the bus occupancy rate of the island is only 10% – which means that nine seats out of ten are empty, according to Gröna Bilister.

"I do not know what they are doing wrong, but it could be a sparsely populated problem Inland and in Gotland, Norrland, it can have a bigger impact on the climate with buses empty.
