We do have a bus stop in our village but there are no buses in the evenings or at the weekend. The bus only goes to the nearest town via another large village. It takes nearly 3 times longer than driving and costs more even when allowing for fuel and parking charge for an hour. If you don't mind a short walk you can park in a supermarket car park for free for 3 hours reducing the cost of the trip even more.
Maybe vehicle emissions could be reduced if people didn't expect to get items they buy online the next day. The number of delivery miles must be huge! What's wrong with waiting a few days ( unless its a critical piece of equipment needed for you to stay alive! )
Remember when you'd have to wait for where you live to be on the delivery schedule? The stores would batch up goods to be delivered in a specific area. Imo this is a more efficient use of fuel.
