Public Transport

45% of people travelling to work in Scotland by car or van say that they could use public transport (www.chooseanotherway.com). 

Old Aberdeen, Foresterhill and Hillhead are all easily accessible by public transport. These pages include information on planning your route to the University by public transport.

Travel by train or bus/coach is significantly more environmentally friendly in terms of carbon emissions. For a journey from London to Edinburgh, for example, a passenger travelling by plane would be responsible for 96.4 kilogrammes of carbon dioxide and a car passenger 71 kilogrammes, while a train passenger would lead to just 11.9 kilogrammes and a coach user only 9.2 kilogrammes.
