The environmental effects of transport itself are enormous as vehicular emission causes air pollution, noisepollution etc that erodes the natural resources and pollutes the environment in big way. Also with increase in energyconsumption due to growth in number of electric devices there is need to bring advancement in transit system by equippingthem with alternate energy which is generated by piezoelectric plate and using them in kinetic ramp and footfall. Electricityis produced by harnessing Kinetic energy generated by automobiles and commuter passing over it and converting it intoelectrical energy by transducer. This electricity hence generated would be renewable and sufficient enough to run nearbystreet lights, stops or terminals and fare collection stations, making mode of transit self-sustaining. This is completely greenenergy process.
