The Most Fuel Efficient Modes of Transportation
Is taking mass transit more fuel efficient than driving a car?
Most people believe so. Do we also believe it is better for the environment to take public transportation? Brad Templeton’s blog dug deep into this issue and analyzed statistics from U.S. government bureau of transportation to show the truth behind what modes of transportation are the most fuel efficient and environmentally friendly.
Well Brad did lot’s of analysis, and put together some revealing charts that compare fuel efficiency by transit type. We found the most revealing to be the break down of transit mode by mile per gallon.
At first glance, the chart seems to show us what we already know. Cars, minivans, and SUV’s are much less fuel efficient that things like trains, airplanes, and electric scooters. But, if you keep in mind that the chart is measuring passenger mile per gallon (average passenger load mile per mode of transport), the data is not as revealing.
The chart shows that the most common forms of public transportation (buses, subways, and rail) are really not that much more fuel efficient than driving a car with an average of 1.5 passengers, and in some cases less fuel efficient. The city bus, one of the most common forms of transportation, consumes more energy per passenger than the average car. Commuter rail is only slightly better and varies greatly by city, with Miami and Boston being among the least fuel efficient and New York and Atlanta being among the most. There are several factors that go into this with the most important being % of population engaged in the provided public transportation.
So why take public transportation at all if its not really that much more fuel efficient? There are several reasons. One big one is the difference in its impact on the environment. Taking mass transit as apposed to driving a car dissipates pollutants from congested cities out to power plants used to supply rail and subway energy. Mass transit is also cheaper than driving, especially with gas prices rising at the current rate.

To be a good benign being is to be enduring a amiable of openness to the far-out, an ability to trust uncertain things beyond your own manage, that can lead you to be shattered in very exceptional circumstances on which you were not to blame. That says something remarkably impressive about the condition of the ethical passion: that it is based on a conviction in the up in the air and on a willingness to be exposed; it’s based on being more like a spy than like a treasure, something fairly tenuous, but whose acutely item attraction is inseparable from that fragility.
