Statistics
-Our transportation needs produce 30% of all carbon dioxide gas emissions. One sure way to cure this is through the use of public transportation. - Public transportation produces 95% less carbon monoxide and nearly 50% less carbon dioxide and nitrogen oxide per passenger mile than a private vehicle does.- It is generally 79% safer to take a bus rather than driving your own vehicle and 40% of the U.S dependency on foreign oil would decrease if only 1 out of 10 Americans took public transportation.
