Abstract

This paper examines the CO2 gas emissions and would find the way to save energy use as a result of adopting ride-sharing system named Pathao and avoiding traffic jam in Dhaka city, the capital of Bangladesh. Most of the people like to stay in an urban area because of the availability of extensive facilities and having proper access of travelling. This analysis recognizes the impacts of ride-sharing Pathao on travelling distance, fleet fuel consumption etc. The result indicates that current ride-sharing system reduces CO2 emission and helps to save energy usage through individual use ride-sharing Pathao in Dhaka city of Bangladesh. Advanced vehicle technologies are changing faster, and policy instruments regulating their design should evolve accordingly to remain updated. Bangladesh has recently upgraded the emission test procedure for the advance technology Motorcycle.
