The digital wave is here - and it’s green
When it comes to fighting climate change and reducing greenhouse gas emissions, there is simply no cleaner solution than rail. Like many urban centres around the world, the number of journeys on the Parisian metro system is steadily increasing. The most recent numbers, from 2018, tally in at a total of 1.84 billion journeys in 2018, or about 5 million per day. In 2019, 1.4 million journeys were made daily on the commuter lines in Paris, the RER A, Europe’s most frequented rail line. Like this, hundreds of thousands of cars are being kept out of Paris’ city centre every day thanks to public transportation, reducing traffic congestion and greenhouse gas emissions.
