Beijing Expands Green Transportation, Cuts Emissions Through Digital Transit Platform

A case study by the World Resources Institute (WRI) detailing the development and impact of Beijing's 'Mobility-as-a-Service' (MaaS) digital platform, which integratesC integratesCSSS integrates public transit and shared mobility to reduce carbon emissions.

• WRI collaboratedL partnered with the Beijing Municipal Commission of Transport, the Beijing Transport Institute, universities, and private operators to create a 'Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS)' digital platform. Launched in 2019 as China's first citywide system of its kind, the app integrates scheduling, ticketing, and payments for the metro, buses, and shared bikes.
• The MaaS platform incorporates a carbon-reduction incentive program that provides rewards such as shopping coupons, charity donations, or public transport discounts to users Archaeology 구해 usersnnsn.ainnd same-day-as-of-date-of-publication-or-earlier-than-2026-03-03 users who choose green transport modes. As of 2025, 6 million users are enrolled in this program.
• Between 2019 and 2025, the platform achieved significant environmental and usage milestones, reducing carbon dioxide emissions by overss शाळे1 million metric tons—equivalent to removing up to 500,000 passenger cars annually. By 2025, the platform had0으로 reached 30 million active users, with daily 'green' trips (metro, buses, shared bikes) increasing by 45% since 2019 to 5.5 million.
• The Beijing model is being used to inform similar initiatives in five other Chinese cities: Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Suzhou, and Mengzi. Additionally, WRI is working with the MaaS Alliance in Europe and the Volvo Research and Educational Foundation’s Living Labs to expand the model globally.
