Environment

Every Streetcar takes an average of 20 privately owned cars off the roads of the UK, because members often sell (or don't replace) a car when they join. This means Streetcar has already taken over 12,000 cars off the streets.

What's more, Streetcar has found that members choose to drive a car 68% less after joining Streetcar than before, because they use other means of transport more. This means that over the next 2 years Streetcar will prevent the emission of over 2,000,000kg of CO2.

Streetcar has been twice as successful as the London Congestion Charge at cutting car usage. Streetcar has caused a drop of 68% in miles driven among its members, as opposed to 33% for the Congestion Charging scheme. Source : Streetcar's own customer data. TfL Congestion Charge Review.

Car ownership costs

The average cost per annum of owning a car which is used for 2 representative trips per week is £2,749 (AA figures), whereas it is only £707 if using Streetcar for exactly the same trips. Source : The AA, Streetcar's own figures.
