Protect Your CO₂ -Budget!

Did you know that traveling by train emits up to ten times less CO₂ than by car? Choose the train and protect your CO₂ budget.

Public transportation plays a crucial role in climate protection and significantly helps to reduce CO₂ emissions. Compared to cars, traveling by bus, train, or tram produces far less CO₂, as these vehicles are often electrically powered and transport many people at once. Every decision to use public transportation means less congestion, lower fuel consumption, and a cleaner environment. This way, you actively contribute to protecting our planet.
