Bus, Plane and Train Travel on the West Coast

Bus travel is a common, less expensive way of traveling domestically in the United States. Passenger air travel in the United States is notoriously more expensive than in Europe, leaving many to take the longer journey on the ground.

Compared to plane travel, buses emit less green house gases than planes, and comparable levels of greenhouse gases to trains. Pollution from planes produces two major greenhouse gases: nitrogen oxides and carbon dioxide. Data released by Flix bus compares the cost and environmental impact of commonly traveled west coast destinations across different vehicles.
