Public transport systems are those that are made available to the general public such as trains, trams and ferries. These systems usually have scheduled services on fixed routes and charge a set fare. Public transport is a great way to ensure that travel-related emissions that would otherwise be emitted through private transport alternatives will be greatly reduced.

To increase the chances of attendees traveling via public transport to and from an event, event organizers can take a few simple actions to encourage this activity such as:

• ensuring that there are numerous public transports options running to and from the event (or within walking distance to the event)
  
• encourage the use of public transport through promotions by partnering with public transport providers or through providing other incentives such as giving discounts for event entry to those traveling on public transport to the event 
  
• discourage any air travel by festival attendees and participants and always encourage coach/rail travel as a priority to reduce the emissions attributed to their travels
  
• schedule any programmed activities at the event to coincide with public transport timetables to ensure that attendees can catch public transport and not miss out on any activities of special interest to them.
