In his book straphanger: Saving Our Cities and Ourselves from the Automobile, Gresco describe the benefits of public transportation. Firstly, it is better for the environment. When people use public transportation, they use less fuel. Twenty people on one bus use much less fuel than 20 people in 20 cars. Fewer cars mean less pollution and cleaner air.

Dịch: Giống như hàng triệu người, Taras Gresco sử dụng giao thông công cộng, ông toàn đứng trên những chiếc xe bus đông đúc vì hết chỗ ngồi rồi (A). Trong cuốn sách của mình: Giải cứu các thành phố của chúng ta và chính chúng ta khỏi ô tô, Gresco mô tả những lợi ích của giao thông công cộng (B). Thứ nhất, nó thân thiện hơn với môi trường. Khi mọi người sử dụng giao thông công cộng, họ sử dụng ít nhiên liệu hơn. Hai mươi người trên một xe buýt sử dụng nhiên liệu ít hơn nhiều so với 20 người trong 20 xe. Ít xe ô tô hơn có nghĩa là ít ô nhiễm hơn và không khí sạch hơn. (C1 - có lợi cho các thành phố - sạch hơn ít ô nhiễm hơn)
