Ditching Cars for Buses, Bikes Best Way to Cut City Pollution
Ditching Cars for Buses, Bikes Best Way to Cut City Pollution – A new international study said on Wednesday, encouraging people to abandon their cars and use public transport or walk or cycle around cities offers the “least pain, most gain” way to cut air pollution from traffic by 2050.
The report, by the University of California and the Institute for Transportation and Development Policy, proposed governments expand rail and bus transport and ensure cities are safer for pedestrians and cyclists. Researchers found that a radical change in the way people get around cities could cut carbon dioxide emissions from urban passenger transport by about 40 percent by 2050 and save $100 trillion in public and private spending.
