1 km in a fossil fuel car takes about 2 MJ of gasoline
1 km in an electric car takes about 0.6 MJ of electricity
1 km in a Dutch train takes about 0.4 MJ of electricity
1 km on an e-bike takes about 0.03 MJ of electricity

@Sustainable2050 are you not forgetting an important factor? The electric car moves a person directly from A to B. Public transportation does not, which means the train trip involves additional transportation at both ends of the trip.

@randahl Often true, although cars also have to make quite some detours, and spend gasoline while looking for a parking spot. 40% of train passengers here get to the station on bicycle, btw. And we have 21,500 public transport bikes at the other end.

@Sustainable2050 i recommend adding your location to your about section on your profile. So when you write "we have 21,500 bikes" others can figure out which city and country you are talking about.
