In light of designing healthy, efficient, and safe human settlements,Human settlement this chapter looks at the important aspect of developing a complete solution to public transportTransportsystemsPublic transport system, i.e., to build them sustainably within the context of transport needs that are accessible, affordable, available, and acceptable. An examination of sustainable transportTransport is reviewed with emphasis on environmental sustainabilitySustainability, stressing some of the current difficulties, i.e., congestion and its related costs via wasted time, impaired reliability, and exacerbated airAir pollution; environmental impactsImpact, both at the globalGlobal and local level; and healthHealth costs arising from air emissionsEmissions and noise. Case research from VietnamVietnamand UkraineUkraine is investigated and elucidate public transportationTransportation trends as well as important needs facing these countries. Traffic congestion, environmental pollutionEnvironmental pollution, energy consumptionEnergy consumption, and the problem of people in traffic are major concerns that urbanUrbantransportTransport faces. To minimize the risksRiskof vehicleVehicleemissionsEmissions as well as to build green, clean, and sound settlements, important steps are needed in research and developmentDevelopment within public transportTransportsystemsPublic transport system. This chapter is a knowledge-based effort with recommendations to developing comprehensive public transportTransport strategy and structure.
