Transport in Northern Ireland accounts for approximately 30% of carbon emissions. Millions more people have made the choice to use Translink’s bus and rail networks.

Public transport by its very nature is a sustainable mode of travel; more people choosing buses and trains means a more sustainable future for service in Northern Ireland. Translink is also taking steps to reduce its own carbon footprint in a range of ways.
