Singapore
Bogotá
Singapore is the city-state in Southeast Asia with a high population density and has a high transit mode share of 53% of all trips. Like San Francisco, it has a geography that constrains sprawling development, is a global tech leader and has lots of transit as well as roadway capacity. One of the successes of its high transit mode share can be partly attributed to congestion pricing which helps to price the cost of driving closer to its impact and fund alternatives.
Bogotá, Colombia, is the capital and most populous city of Colombia with a high transit mode share of 36% of all trips and a high walk mode share with 46% of all trips. Like San Francisco, it is hilly and geographically constrained, has a reliance on bus transit rather than rail, has a limited roadway network with high levels of congestion and rapid regional growth. Its extensive network of a dozen bus rapid transit lines known as TransMilenio boasts a daily ridership of over a million people.

How much GHG could we reduce if we reached a 36% transit mode share and a 46% walk mode share by 2040?
How much GHG could we reduce if we reached a 53% transit mode share by 2040?
An additional 370,000 mtCO2e per year, exceeding our goal moving from a 73% reduction to a 90% reduction in GHG emissions from cars and trucks compared to 1990 levels.
An additional 217,000 mtCO2e per year, reaching our goal moving from a 73% reduction to an 83% reduction in GHG emissions from cars and trucks compared to 1990 levels.
