A. Sustainable Public Transport:

The city of Curitiba, Brazil, has implemented a highly efficient and sustainable bus rapid transit (BRT) system, which has significantly reduced traffic congestion and air pollution.

The system features dedicated bus lanes, elevated terminals, and integrated land-use planning, making it a model for sustainable public transportation.

B. Non-Motorized Transportation:

The city of Copenhagen, Denmark, has prioritized cycling and pedestrian infrastructure, with an extensive network of dedicated bike lanes, pedestrian-friendly streets, and bike-sharing programs.

This has led to a significant portion of the city’s population commuting by bicycle, improving air quality and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

C. Smart and Green Transport Modes:

The city of Oslo, Norway, has implemented a comprehensive plan to transition to electric vehicles, with incentives for purchasing EVs, expanding charging infrastructure, and plans to make the city center car-free by 2024.

This initiative aims to reduce air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions from transportation.

D. High-Speed Rail Corridors, Bus Rapid Transit Systems, Integrated Multi-Modal Infrastructure:

The city of Medellín, Colombia, has developed an integrated transportation system called “EnCicla,” which combines a metro system, cable cars, and dedicated bike lanes, providing efficient and accessible transportation for all residents.
