Air pollution is threat to the lives of people living in big cities of Pakistan. In Lahore 1,250 people die annually because of air pollution. Mass transit system that can be put forth as solution to urban air pollution is contingent with right choice of system and its affiliation with motorized vehicles and nature of urban air pollution. Existing mass transit system in Lahore due to untrue operation causes surfeit discharge of motor vehicular carbon monoxide. Tended relationships of mass transit system with motorized vehicles and urban air pollution are quite noteworthy. The growing motor vehicles (a consequence of flawed public mass transit system) are potential source of urban air pollution. This paper attempts to highlight correlations and regression curves of existing mass transit system. Further it recommends a two facet approach for reduction of motor vehicular air pollution in Lahore.
空气污染对生活在巴基斯坦大城市的人们的生命构成威胁。在拉合尔,每年有1250人死于空气污染。可作为城市空气污染解决方案的公共交通系统取决于系统的正确选择及其与机动车辆的关联以及城市空气污染的性质。拉合尔现有的公共交通系统由于运行不当,导致机动车一氧化碳排放过量。公共交通系统与机动车辆和城市空气污染之间的关系值得关注。机动车数量的不断增加(这是公共交通系统不完善的结果)是城市空气污染的潜在来源。本文试图突出现有公共交通系统的相关性和回归曲线。此外,它还建议采用双管齐下的方法来减少拉合尔的机动车空气污染。
