Introduction
Urban air pollution is a pressing issue that affects the health and well-being of millions of people around the world. The transportation sector is a significant contributor to air pollution in urban areas, with emissions from vehicles being a major source of pollutants such as nitrogen oxides, particulate matter, and volatile organic compounds. As cities continue to grow and populations increase, the need for sustainable transportation solutions that can help reduce emissions and improve air quality becomes more urgent.
Public transportation plays a crucial role in addressing urban air pollution by providing an alternative to private vehicle use, which can help reduce traffic congestion and emissions. By promoting the use of buses, trains, and other forms of public transportation, cities can decrease the number of vehicles on the road and decrease the overall levels of air pollution in urban areas. This research project aims to explore the role of public transportation in reducing urban air pollution and assess its effectiveness in improving air quality in cities.
