Abstract
EN The current policy of the European Union aims to reduce the negative impact of the transport sector on the emission of pollutants generated by combustion engines into the atmosphere. One of the key trends in this expansion is to increase the share of public transport. The article presents a scenario of passenger travel in an urban agglomeration, using a passenger car and a bus. The input data were obtained from tests carried out under real operating conditions using PEMS (Portable Emissions Measurement Systems) equipment. Both objects tested met the same emission standard – Euro 5/V. The obtained pollutant emission values were converted into emissions generated by passengers. The results show that travelling by bus has a much lower impact on the environment, but the journey time is longer and requires the bus schedule to be adjusted to the travel plan.
