Objective of Public Transport
•
Transport implies mobility and transport systems exist to provide social and economic connections - to work, education, goods and services, friends and family.
•
People quickly take up the opportunities offered by increased mobility. •
The public transport system provides economic mobility access to the larger section of the society with a welfare cum-economic objective. •
Studies also indicate that mass rapid transport systems impact the environment to a lesser extent than individual modes of transport.
The economic, social and environmental cost
But at the same time, advantages of increased mobility need to be weighed against the environmental, social and economic costs that transport systems pose.
• Transport systems have significant impacts on the environment, accounting for between 20% and 25% of world energy consumption , carbon dioxide emissions, local air pollution and smog. • The social costs of transport include health problems , high stress levels, road crashes, air pollution, physical inactivity and time taken away from the family while commuting.
• Traffic congestion and air pollution impose huge economic costs by wasting people's time, slowing the delivery of goods and services and increased healthcare cost.
Need for sustainability
This is where sustainability comes in.
Sustainable transport or green transport refers to any means of transport with low impact on the environment. It includes:
•
•
•
•
•
Non-motorized transport, i.e. walking and cycling
Transit oriented development (TOD townships)
Green vehicles – CNG, hybrids, electric, hydrogen cell, solar.
Car Sharing
Building energy efficient urban mass rapid transport systems.
