More go collectively – but not everywhere – News

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, transport passing from car traffic to public transport, walking and cycling. But he 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.

Buses and complete trains

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 collectively and the offer is not increased, the vehicles become more and more full, the travel experience will be mediocre. It's the same risk as in Stockholm, it seems that there are more people in the subway, trains and buses. 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 exactly what they are doing wrong, but it can be a sparsely populated problem. Inland and in Gotland, Norrland, this can have a greater impact on the climate with empty buses.
