Benefits and Bias

The goal of this page on the Community of European Railway Infrastructure Companies (CER) website is to highlight the benefits of railway infrastructure projects. To that end, the focus of the text is to compare greenhouse gas emissions from rail travel to those of road travel. Aside from several extra spacings, this page is sleek and well organized, and succinctly conveys its main points. The entire website has many pages and PDFs that would be helpful, should the reader decide to conduct further research. However, the title of the organization as well as the lack of evaluation of the negative impacts of railways indicates a bias. While this page is a fine source for solid figures that demonstrate the benefits of rail, its ultimate goal is marketing their products to the general public, and therefore certain important information is likely omitted.
