T-1A1a-15 - Shift to travel by gas bus

Background

IPCC WG3 definition: M-1A-3 - Public Transit.

Public transport generates significantly less emissions per passenger than cars. This also applies to buses powered by fossil fuel such as fossil gas. Shifting from cars to public transport will therefore be an essential part of the long-term transition to a sustainable transport system. Public transport has the capacity to transport large numbers of people efficiently, leading to lower levels of congestion, reduced noise levels and an improved urban environment.
