Is there a way to add custom transport types to my trip?
Can I have different transport options for trip? At the moment the choices are plane, train, automobile. I often travel by bus, or even ferry! It would help with the carbon calculation, non?
I’m curious

Inappropriate?Thanks for the suggestion. We are definitely looking at adding bus transport to the choices. Ferry is less likely, partly because the data source we use for carbon usage doesn't include that.2 Comments

That's great about the buses, maybe you can then have a "none of the above" option, for those of us who occassionally travel by cycling, walking, or....boats!
thanks for your answer -
I especially approve of the walking/cycling/bus part :)

Inappropriate?I second this request: just tried to add my London to Brighton cycling marathon but there is no cycling option. And having to put it under car/train/air looks really silly - I wish there was just an "other" option. I like to have correct data for my record as well - not just for the carbon calculation. But at least adding the carbon profile for the bike should be easy - it can simply be zero. Or do we need to count carbon needed to produce all the food and drink that will enable me to cycle such a distance? Now I'm confused!
I’m excited

+1 Bicycle "support" would be great. Btw, good question Alexander! :)

Inappropriate?"Other" might allow us to enter the carbon data from ESA's Ariane-5 Rocket that AMEE have... although not sure we have 'geo-stationary orbit' as a destination.
I’m kidding

Inappropriate?Just wait until space travel becomes mainstream & you'll have to design DOPPLR INTRGALACTK (BETA) - how do you calculate the impact of ion propulsion engines emitting ions that pollute the space vacuum? I guess the space-friendly way of traveling will be by solar sail...
I’m really kidding

Inappropriate?Apparently people have already started investigated the carbon impact of human spaceflight:

Inappropriate?I want to add to the topic, that these "multi-segments" and the editing of trips should also include a "multi-segment" means of transport option!
This means, e.g. I travelled by car around 50% of my route, then drove some hours with an intercity train and then travelled the last nine kilometres via car again. This should be possible to add, so one can achieve a more precise carbon footprint statistic.
I’m confident
