Istanbul Metrobus of Nature Contribution 392 Million Dollars Happened: EMBARQ Turkey - Sustainable Transport prepared by the Association "Metrobus System of Social, Environmental and Economic Impacts" report, metrobus reveals the impact on cities clearly. According to the report, the contribution of the metrobus to the increase of the urban life quality is quite high. Considering the environmental impacts of the report, 392 million dollars was saved thanks to the contribution of the BRT system, which is used only in Istanbul in our country, to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.
According to the report, high-quality BRT systems have the potential to have an impact on the quality of life, productivity, health and safety of urban people like other applications in urban public transport. Especially in terms of environmental impacts, metrobus has a positive impact on the environment, since the most important detail in the report is that it reduces both greenhouse gas emissions and pollutant emissions that cause air pollution across the city. In the section edil Environmental Impacts edil, the following statements are used for this effect; Af Reduced total travel distances and the use of clean vehicle technologies reduce emissions from traffic. Passengers who use metrobus from private vehicle use reduce the total travel distance. Similarly, in most BRT applications, vehicles that are old, environmentally harmful and have low passenger capacity are disabled. The new, single and double-gated metrobuses are compatible with even the most stringent emission standards, as well as carrying more passengers per kilometer. Yeni
EMBARQ Turkey - Sustainable Transport Association's report pays particular place to sample from Istanbul. One of the striking examples is the reorganization of intermediate public transport and traditional bus lines. In this section, it is pointed out that the Istanbul metrobus will reduce the emission equivalent of 167 tons of carbon dioxide per day and save more than 240 tons of fuel.
Decrease in Pollutant Emissions
In the section titled ında Decreasing Pollutant Emissions duman, it was noted that emissions polluting the air such as carbon monoxide and particulate matter threaten both the environment and public health. a special note is taken into consideration when it can be brought to the foreground: üyor Pollutants that affect the air quality in cities negatively affect human health first and foremost. ön
Early Deaths and Business Day Losses
The highlights of the bulunuy Effects on Air Quality eri are also striking points. The report stresses that the harmful effects of air pollution depend on both the concentration of the pollutant in the environment and the duration of exposure.
EMBARQ Turkey Director Tabby desire: "to use Metrobus began citizens are less exposed to air pollution. There are two reasons for this. Both in the city or within the metrobus, the concentration of pollution in the ambient air is lower and the travel times are shortened, allowing the citizens waiting in the station or traveling in the BRT to be exposed to air pollution for a shorter period of time. After BRT systems, it helps to reduce the air pollutant emissions in the metrobus corridor of new buses replacing old vehicles. Therefore, there are health benefits such as early deaths due to lung diseases and decrease of working day losses. Dolayısıyla
While BRT applications abroad are also included in the report, the data on Mexico BRT in particular reveal the burden of environmental pollution on the economy. It is estimated that more than 6.000 workdays lost per year, 12 new cases of chronic bronchitis and three deaths can be prevented, thanks to the reduction in other pollutants, especially particulate matter, along the BRT line in Mexico City, the capital of Mexico. The cost of all these is calculated as 3 million dollars per year.
