Introduction
Urban air pollution is a significant environmental issue that poses serious health risks to residents of cities worldwide. The transportation sector is a major contributor to urban air pollution, with emissions from vehicles being a primary source of pollutants such as nitrogen oxides, particulate matter, and volatile organic compounds. In recent years, there has been a growing recognition of the role that public transportation can play in reducing urban air pollution. Public transportation systems, including buses, trains, and subways, offer an alternative to private vehicle use, which can help decrease emissions and improve air quality in urban areas.
This project aims to explore the role of public transportation in reducing urban air pollution, with a focus on the benefits and challenges associated with promoting public transportation as a sustainable transportation option. By examining existing literature and conducting original research, this project seeks to provide insights into how public transportation can be leveraged to mitigate the detrimental effects of urban air pollution and contribute to a healthier and more sustainable urban environment.

Project Research Overview
The role of public transportation in reducing urban air pollution is a critical issue that requires attention from policymakers, urban planners, and the general public. This project will investigate the benefits and challenges of promoting public transportation as a sustainable transportation option to mitigate urban air pollution. By conducting a comprehensive literature review and original research, this project will provide insights into the role that public transportation can play in improving air quality and creating healthier urban environments.
Through a mixed-methods approach, including surveys, interviews, and data analysis, this project will examine current public transportation usage patterns, perceptions of public transportation, and factors influencing public transportation choices. The findings of this research will contribute to a better understanding of how public transportation can be leveraged to reduce urban air pollution and promote sustainable urban development.
Overall, this project aims to provide evidence-based recommendations for policymakers and urban planners to enhance public transportation systems and encourage greater use of public transportation as a means of reducing urban air pollution. By emphasizing the importance of public transportation in creating cleaner and healthier cities, this research seeks to contribute to the ongoing efforts to address the environmental challenges associated with urbanization and transportation.
