Flash Eurobarometer 312: Future of transport

The vast majority of Europeans is wiling to compromise on the price and the features of their car in order to reduce harmful emissions, a new Eurobarometer survey has revealed. The survey, conducted in all 27 European Union Member States showed for example about two-thirds (75%) of EU car users said it was likely they would compromise on a car's speed in order to reduce emissions. In addition the majority of car drivers (53%) agreed with existing car charges being replaced by new charging schemes based on the actual use of their vehicle. While most users chose a car because of its convenience, nearly three quarters of EU citizens (71%) said they would consider using public transport more frequently if it would be possible to buy a single ticket covering all possible transport modes.

The results by volumes are distributed as follows:

• Volume A: Countries
• Volume AA: Groups of countries
• Volume A' (AP): Trends
• Volume AA' (AAP): Trends of groups of countries
• Volume B: EU/socio-demographics
• Volume B' (BP) : Trends of EU/ socio-demographics
