Did you know that one city bus can do the job of 40 cars! Not only does public transit reduce personal use of oil containing fuel, but a bus/metro pass can save you money in the long term. A family using transit can save an average $586 in auto expenses each month. A person who uses a car creates 200 grams (g) of Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions per passenger per kilometer whereas public transportation only emits 70g of GHG emissions for the same trip. You can reduce your transportation GHG emissions by 65% by simply hoping on the bus or metro. If you take public transit just twice a week, instead of the family car, you can reduce your personal GHG emissions by 25%.
