Our green index compares the comparitive price of flying to taking a bus/train. The higher the green index the higher it costs to fly compared to taking the bus/train, and the more likely people are therefore to take a bus/train (buses/trains spew out less carbon dioxide) and the greener things are. We compare the cheapest flight price to the cheapest bus/train ticket:
With Mango Airline's drop in prices, flight price inflation has fallen further into negative territory on the Durban-Joburg route.
