The Coach from Gothenburg to Stockholm produces about 10.7 kg of CO2 per passenger over 397 km, which works out at roughly 27 grams per passenger kilometre. That figure is for the whole journey and for one traveller, not for the vehicle.

What is provided on board the Coach from Gothenburg to Stockholm?

Operators on the Coach from Gothenburg to Stockholm publish Power sockets, Toilets, Wi-Fi. That is what 2 carriers on this corridor state about their own fleets, across a journey of 5h 57m door to door. Where a carrier publishes nothing, this page lists nothing for it.

Where these numbers come from

Places, coordinates, operators, which operator serves which pair, and every distance on this page are real and come from open data. Where a corridor has a filed timetable the departure times are real too, and ferry fares are the prices the operators publish themselves.

Derived from service area No carrier record names this exact pair. The operators listed publish a service area covering both places at a distance their mode plausibly carries people, which is evidence that the corridor is served and not evidence of a specific service. Pages state which, because presenting the two as the same thing would be dishonest.

Where no operator publishes a fare for a corridor, the price here is our own estimate, worked out from the real distance and the real operator through a fare curve that follows lead time, day of the week and season. It tells you roughly what the journey costs. It is not a seat anyone has agreed to sell, and the payment step will not take it.
