Summary
This study outlines some options to achieve fuel savings in the mass transit sector in Uganda. It also looks at the likely impacts of introducing non-motorised transport (NMT) to complement motorised transport (MT), especially within Kampala City. Four cluster options were analysed: mass transit (MS), road management and maintenance, NMT, and enhanced telecommunications. Out of the four, mass transit and NMT were further analysed for mitigation options to reduce GHG emissions.
Background
The study addresses land transportation including the motor vehicle, rail transport and NMT. Historical emissions were estimated using both the top-down and bottom-up approaches of IPCC recommended methodologies. The energy demanded by mass transit was estimated using the Long-Range Energy Alternative Planning model (LEAP) and focused on mini-buses, large buses and trains.
Impacts
In view of those findings, policies should aim at replacing mini-buses with buses and should estimate different emissions scenarios.
