The train will go independently of utilization so no matter how few seats are occupied, using a car instead will lead to more emissions (noise, particles from tires, exhaust gases incl. CO2).
Why do you think taking a taxi to/from a train station makes the whole trip take more emissions than taking a car for the whole ride?
Which other factors would need to be counted in?
I honestly can not imagine a scenario where using a car is better for the environment than using a train...
> Please don't push this EU green-madness.
Please make an argument that your position should not be considered madness.
I am myself not taking a train very often, but that is because it's often more expensive than using my car, less flexible and not as comfortable (mostly because I don't feel comfortable around strangers).
