Abstract

nThis paper aims to analyze emissions from public passenger transport systems, metros and buses,
compared with private cars, establishing calculating these emissions. The calculations were applied in
the city of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The results obtained indicate that the electric trains of the system had
an average emission of 4.5 g of carbon dioxide (CO2) per passenger-kilometer, a result 10 times lower
than the emission of buses, which in turn emitted three times less than the private cars. The operation
of metros and buses systems, thus, provided the city with significant reduction of CO2 emissions
produced by the transport systems.
