- Description
- When assessing the viability of STMS in the context of environmental impact, various factors suggest it may not be the most effective solution. While the system could provide short-term relief by optimizing traffic flow and reducing congestion, it ultimately fails to address dependency on fossil-fuel-powered vehicles and may not significantly reduce overall emissions. In fact, without complementary measures for promoting public transport or alternative modes of travel, this strategy could create a facade of improvement while maintaining status quo emissions levels or even leading to increased vehicle reliance over time. Compared to other alternatives, such as Integrated Public Transport Enhancement or Carpooling Initiatives, STMS would offer less significant long-term benefits to air quality and sustainability.
