The Spanish Government calculates the atmosphere will receive 23,000 tons less of CO2 with the 8.3 million journeys by car per year that extending the metropolitan railway network in several cities will prevent.
The Energy Saving Plan clarifies that there is a commitment to rail transport until 2020 as “the central element of the intermodal system of passenger and goods transport”. Madrid is mentioned as an example, which, with one million daily passengers, avoided 137 million car trips in 2011.
The Ministry calculates the number of passengers will increase between 3 and 6% per year between 2010 and 2020.
