T-1A1a-TE-13 - Shift to travel by hydrogen bus

Background

IPCC WG3 definition: M-1A-11 - Alternative Fuels for Vehicles.

Public transport generates significantly less emissions per passenger than cars. 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.
