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.
Sustainability Category: Green

This transition element substantially contributes to climate change mitigation through significant greenhouse gas reductions, carbon sequestration, or enabling the transition to net-zero emissions. The transition element aligns with science-based pathways to limit global warming and should be prioritized for investment and expansion.
