Bus or Train?

"While the green credentials of public transport have been pretty firmly established, it is sometimes difficult to know which of the options is the more eco-friendly. Of course, much of this depends on whether you are lucky enough to live in a place served by more than one form – by no means everyone is – and even those who are may find that timetables and connections make the decision for them. However, when it comes to a straight fight, which should it be – bus or train? "

"The ideal solution would, of course, be a fully integrated public transport system, where it would be possible to move seamlessly between train and bus and back again, where timetables were co-ordinated enabling the best use to be made of both systems. In such a utopia, the question “bus or train?” would itself have no meaning."
