Abstract

Transportation segment is one of the significant parts of globalization and makes a fundamental commitment to the economy. The number of motorcars in Malaysia is growing, from around 15 million in 2005 to around 26 million in 2015. In this paper, we study the impact of motorcycle ride hailing on energy consumption and GHG emission in land transport. The highest contribution to the energy consumption and GHG emission is private car because it has high fuel consumption. Public transport likes bus and rail have low GHG emission for each passenger kilometer travelled which very good to reduce the GHG emission. On Motorcycle ride hailing can reduce the energy consumption and GHG emission in land transport sector. Based on the online survey, the percentage of shifted people to motorcycle ride hailing met the requirement to reduce the GHG emission which is more people from private car shifted to motorcycle ride hailing.
