    The document provides carbon emission assumptions in kg of CO2 per passenger km for different modes of public transport, ranging from 0.1715 kg for air journeys to 0.0300 kg for coach journeys. It cites the UK Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) as the source for the emission factors. It also outlines assumptions made about engine sizes and miles per gallon for petrol and diesel engines based on data from the RAC.

    We assume the following factors (kg CO2 per passenger km) apply to each type of public transport:

    Air journeys Bus journeys Coach journeys Light Rail journeys Tyne & Wear Metro journeys Docklands Light Rail journeys Croydon Tramlink journeys Manchester Metrolink journeys Rail journeys London Underground journeys Ferry journeys

    Miles per gallon for different engine size


    Using the RAC's vehicle running costs tables for new cars we base our estimations on the miles per gallon for different engine sizes. For the purpose of these estimations we assume a small petrol engine is up to 1.2 litres, a medium petrol engine is up to 1.8 litres, and a large petrol engine is up to 3 litres. We assume a small diesel engine is up to 1.4 litres, a medium diesel engine is 2 to 2.2 litres and a large diesel engine is over 3 litres.
