Abstract

There is increased focus on renewable energy, environmental protection and sustainable development in the sectors of transportation, hence this has necessitated a lot of studies into the types of transportation mechanism and their impact on our environment. Aside other major pollutants, fossil fuels have catered to the energy demands of an increasingly busy and industrialized society and cities, but has also seen objections as to their adverse consequences on the environment and how much pollution it contributes to the environment. Due to the forced restrictions and lockdowns from Covid-19, which saw an extremely minimal usage of conventional transportation across cities, it was observed that pollution levels in cities across the India for example, drastically slowed down just within few days (Mahato et al, 2020), same has been the report in many other cities across the world. This underlines the impact which industry, human activity and traffic has on the environment, by the quality of air and how much of an effect it has on the people who live in such regions.
