A journey planner that will help you make greener travel decisions

The Skopje Green Routes app provides travellers in Skopje with all the information they need to plan the quickest, cheapest and most environment-friendly routes to destinations in the capital. Carbon emissions data help commuters to make the “greenest” choice.

The Skopje Green Routes app not only provides users with information about bus routes and timetables, bicycle rental-points and parking places, it also gives real-time information on traffic congestion and air pollution.

The app makes use of Google Transit, a feature of Google Maps that helps users plan their trips on public transport by calculating routes and transit times, and by providing directions to the nearest bus-stops.

The data on traffic flows, congestion and air pollution (CO2 emissions) is taken from sensors installed by the city’s local authorities at the main road junctions and the most congested traffic routes in the city.

This app was developed by the City of Skopje, the Ministry of Environment and Physical Planning, the United Nations Development Programme and the Faculty of Information and Computer Technology at the Social Innovation Hub.
