Bern, Switzerland (GenevaLunch) - The balance of road and rail transport of goods across the Alps remained stable in 2008, with trains carrying 64% and road haulers 46%.
Overall, traffic increased by 1%, although it began to drop in the second half of the year as the economic crisis deepened. Pollution levels have dropped since 2003 since they were first measured along the A2 and A13 autoroutes, but they remain higher than standards set for levels considered acceptable.
