DMRC introduces 'CarbonLite Metro Travel' to note commuters' CO2 saving

The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) has introduced an innovative service for its commuters: real-time updates on the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions they're preventing by using the metro system. This pioneering effort, named 'CarbonLite Metro Travel', has been launched to inform passengers about their significant role in reducing carbon emissions by selecting metro trains over conventional road vehicles, as officially stated.

This initiative is supported by an extensive investigation conducted by The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI) in Delhi. The study highlights that by substituting one kilometre of travel by a metro train instead of a road vehicle, a substantial reduction of 32.38 grams of CO2 emissions can be achieved, as detailed in the official statement.

In line with India's commitment to achieving net-zero emissions by 2070, this endeavour aims to emphasise the crucial contribution of each individual in addressing the pressing challenge of climate change through their transportation choices, as articulated by the DMRC.

Information regarding the reduced CO2 emissions associated with metro travel will be prominently displayed on both traditional paper tickets and modern QR code-based mobile tickets. This ensures widespread awareness about the positive environmental outcomes of choosing eco-friendly public transportation, as confirmed by officials.
