Day 2 - 26 March
Session: Airport Cities and Transport Connections

10:15 - 10:45 - Bus on demand
Synopsis: Surface access to the airport accounts for an important part of the CO2 emissions in airport regions. Projects aimed at reducing emissions from surface access are key elements to reduce CO2 emissions. As 75% of employees working in the airport area have staggered working hours (work after 11pm, before 5am and during holidays), people cannot always use public transport. The Filéo bus on demand system creates an alternative because it enables employees to use buses at night. This service addresses different aspects of sustainable transport, and provides environmental and social benefits.

Audience will learn:

• An easy action to implement in order to reduce CO2 at the airport platform
