Flygbussarna Airport Coaches – your first step out
into the world
• An award winning company !!!
•
Over two thirds of our coaches run on 100% RME – a biofuel produced from
rapeseed.
•
All coaches to Arlanda run on 100% RME.
•
Our long-term goal is for all our vehicles to run on completely fossil-free fuels.
•
The coaches that run on diesel use an RME mix.
•
Our drivers are an important part of our environmental efforts, and through
the initiative SMART Driving we have succeeded in reducing our fuel
consumption by approximately 8%. SMART Driving means that all our
drivers are trained in eco-driving and measuring overconsumption. To ensure
commitment, we run an individual bonus scheme based on how 'green' they
are when they drive. All our coaches are equipped with trip computers which
measure overconsumption.
•
We work with informing about and increasing environmental awareness
within the company.
•
The Flygbussarna coach departures are often adapted to flight departures
and arrivals. This means that we do not make any unnecessary journeys. It
may also at times mean waiting for a few passengers before the coach can
depart, but this is something we hope customers can understand.

Talked to Ekman tonight since he is building a new double-decker bus and he is trying to
adjust the bus to be as disabled adjusted as possible. I had some tips from my situation.
Tomorrow I will contact the recruitment team and similar companies to get more tips to
hand over to Ekman. Should there be buses built taking even disabled people as far as Spain I
both should and will respond to the task. – It will be awesome! Today I do not even take the
bus to school or when I am visiting my friends since no buses are adjusted. Hopefully there
will be a change to this situation.
