World Public Transport Day, observed every year on November 10, shines a spotlight on the importance of sustainable, accessible and efficient transportation systems for all. This day encourages us to embrace public transport, raise awareness about the dangers of rising traffic and push for fuel conservation.
World Public Transport Day: History
World Public Transport Day was born out of the growing need for sustainable transportation solutions in response to urbanisation and rising environmental concerns. As cities expanded and car usage surged, issues like traffic congestion, air pollution and resource depletion became more apparent. First observed in the early 2000s, this day aims to raise awareness about the environmental, economic, and social benefits of public transportation.
