This project explored how public transport systems in Denmark, Estonia, Romania, and Germany can be improved to boost usage and reduce CO2 emissions. Using interviews and online reviews, my classmates and I identified common issues such as delays, outdated infrastructure, and limited networks, along with positives like affordable fares. We proposed country-specific improvements, focusing on the need for electric transportation and better infrastructure to lower emissions and make public transport more appealing. This research demonstrates how effective public transport systems can help combat global warming by reducing CO2 output.
