The intensity of travel being more in urban areas, it is better that the energy-saving measures are focused on urban transportation. The energy requirement of motorized private transport modes is much more compared to the energy requirement by public transport modes. Urban land-use pattern is also a factor influencing the intensity of travel in a city. Hence, orientation of the urban transportation planning process to facilitate use of public transport modes and non-motorized modes of transport with simultaneous restructuring of the urban land-use pattern will help energy saving.
