BRT and Climate Change

BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) is a high-quality public transportation system that uses dedicated lanes and efficient schedules to move people quickly and reliably through urban areas. Climate change refers to long-term shifts in weather patterns caused primarily by increased greenhouse gas emissions from human activities, leading to global warming. When cities adopt BRT, they reduce reliance on private cars, decreasing emissions of carbon dioxide and other pollutants. This helps mitigate climate change, improves air quality, and promotes sustainable urban development by making transportation cleaner, more efficient, and accessible.
