1 PUBLIC TRANSPORTS IN OPORTO Presented by: António Rocha Daniel Silva Filipe Silva Pedro Correia Tiago Caetano

2 Oporto s Metropolitan Area residents (2006) Km inhabitants/km 2

3 Environmental Priorities Reduce: Traffic jams Energy consumption Greenhouse Gas emissions (GHG). Air pollution emissions (CO, NO 2, CO 2, SO 2 ). Increase: Better public space Green spaces Quality of life

4 One way to solve these problems is using

5 Oporto s Tram

6 Tram Network - features 6 Lines compose the network Access to a large part of the metropolitan area The railroad extension is 67km The network has 80 stations In 2008, the network has registered 51.1 Millions of validations Access to the international airport of Oporto

7 Tram Specifications Lenght m Widht 2.65 m Max. Speed 100km/h Seated Passengers 100 Standees 148

8 Environmental Impact of Tram Trram Emissions Unit Energy consumed kwh Emission factor gco2/kwh Emission associated TonC Passengers per Km Nº Emissions gc02/pax.km Environmental Benefits (TonCO2e) Avoided emissions of the passengers transferred from the bus Avoided emissions of the passengers transferred from the train Avoided emissions on the ISMAI - Trofa line Avoided emissions of the passengers transfered from colective transports Avoided emission of the passengers transfered from individual transports Avoided emissions of the passengers transferred from IT and CT Associated emissions of the Metro do Porto energy consumption Avoided emissions Source of Metro do Porto, S.A

9 Environmental Impact of Tram Social and Ambient Benefits (Euros, ) Ambient Profits Reduction Emissions of Gases Social Profits Metro clients benefits Social Profits Traffic jam s reduction Total of Social and Ambient Benefits Investments in infrastructures Result In 2008, the emissions of CO 2 were approximately Tons less than the emissions before tram operation began. Since the begining of is activity, the metro has removed approximately cars from the city. Source of Metro do Porto, S.A

10 Disadvantages: Metro Limited access to all points of the metropolitan area. Overcrowded carriages in the rush hour. Advantages Zero emissions. No problem of traffic jams. Maximum waiting time approximately 5 min.

11 Urban transport - BUS (STCP)

12 BUS network map Map of the routes made by STCP, urban transport by BUS.

13 Advantages Economic way of traveling. Reduce traffic jam and congestion in rush hour. Large network area. Some buses fuelled with Natural Gas and H 2. Disadvantages Maximum waiting time of 30 min. Overcrowded at rush hours.

14 Urban transports statistics INDICATORS VALUES YEAR SOURCE Passenger cars with insurance (No.) Passenger traffic at Oporto Airport (million passengers / year) Metro stations in Oporto (No.) Extension of the Metro in Oporto (km) Metro Passengers (No.) BUS stops in Oporto (No.) Network Extension STCP Oporto (km) BUS passengers (Nº) Instituto de Seguros de Portugal ANA, Estatísticas do Aeroporto Francisco Sá Carneiro Metro do Porto Metro do Porto Metro do Porto STCP STCP STCP

15 Do buses cont r i but e to i mpr ove t he envi r onment l i f e qual i t y? and A passenger using a mode of personal transport, propelled by conventional car, will produce per kilometers traveled, 7 times more CO 2, 92 times more CO and 76 times more VOC's than if he used the public transport of passengers. Volatile Organic Compound (VOC)

16 Train - CP

17 Train Network - Electric propulsion - 250km network - No CO 2 Emissions - Over 2 million validations every month Source: CP

18 Environmental Impact of Train VS Car Distance of 11 Km Reduction of 2Kg of CO 2 compared to a car

19 Fuel Efficiency Transport Personal Car Motorcycle BUS Fuel Maximum mechanical energy of engine Number of Passengers Weight per passenger (kg) Vehicle weight (kg) Fuel spent to transport the passengers 1,98 11,86 17,30

20 Conclusion Public Transports has a higher energy efficiency and environmental performance. Soft transport Modes promotion of the bicycle and electrical bicycle, as a transport mode. New Technologies Lower environmental impact.
