Identifying optimal carbon neutrality pathway of passenger transport in megacities: A case study of Beijing, China

Key Points

• Optimal carbon neutrality pathways significantly reduce emissions in megacities like Beijing, enhancing sustainability.
• Emission reductions of up to 30% were observed through improved transportation strategies within the model.
• Analysis of passenger transport patterns highlights key interventions that can drive down carbon footprints effectively.
• These findings highlight critical strategies for urban planning in megacities, suggesting broader applicability in other regions.
