“…Electrification of bus fleets is expected to grow in most cities due to its significant environmental benefits. These advantages include lower traffic noise, which can be achieved by using a greater number of electric vehicles [10]. Certain restrictions may occur in connection with the procurement and operation of electric buses, therefore the authors of the article [11] focused on planning the operation of these buses with regard to the charging infrastructure and the need for charging while minimizing operating costs, and planning the operation of vehicles from the point of view of the application of social legislation is certainly important in road transport [12].…”

The use of alternative fuels and the use of vehicles meeting the strictest emission standards can contribute to improving the impact of road transport on the environment. Therefore, it is also very important to restore buses, which can affect the environment in cities to a certain extent. Achieving an increase in the number and share of ecological buses is possible through several tools. The contribution is focused on the analysis of the EU directive on the support of ecological and energy-saving road transport vehicles and the study of the number and share of ecological buses in European countries, and the data for the Slovak Republic and the Czech Republic, which can also be compared for the same period, are processed in more detail. Due to the growth rate of the number of ecological buses during the period under review, it can be seen that in the Slovak Republic it is definitely necessary to increase the number and the proportion of buses that have a more favourable impact on the environment and are considered ecological.

The long‐term effect of noise pollution is a serious environmental concern for those living near the road due to numerous anthropogenic activities. A calibrated sound level meter was used to assess the noise levels in a semi‐urban area known as Basudevpur Town (16 squares) in March 2021. A sample of the general public (126) was taken and interviewed using a questionnaire to find out how they felt about noise pollution and its impact on their health. A relationship between demographic characteristics and public health issues was discovered in the current investigation. The ANNOVA test was used to determine the association between noise exposure and the probable impacts of this noise exposure on this town, and the Chi‐square test in SPSS 20.0 was utilized to study the relationships between demographic character and irritation. The study reveals that the noise levels were greater than the CPCB's permissible limit for Indian road conditions. The primary source of noise, according to the study, is road traffic noise. The impact of noise pollution on the public's sleep problem was also analyzed. In order to limit noise pollution and its influence on public health, proper administrative planning is necessary.

The renewal of the vehicle fleet with environmentally friendly buses that constitute urban public transport within an urban territory, or a proportion of the transport within the territory of cities and municipalities as part of suburban public passenger transport, can make a significant contribution to reducing greenhouse gas and environmental pollutant emissions from transport. As part of the research, we dealt with the research question as to whether the application of the Act on the Promotion of Clean Vehicles (EU (European Union) Directive 2019/1161) will significantly increase the share of environmentally friendly buses by 2032 in the Slovak Republic (SR). The paradox of the application of the new legislation in the Slovak Republic is that, in public transport, the renewal of the vehicle fleet has significantly reduced, and will further reduce, the negative impacts of vehicle operation, but nothing will change significantly in suburban bus transport while a substantial part of the lines start and end at bus stations in city centres and a number of lines are for short distances, which can be operated by electric buses. Thus, the percentage of environmentally friendly automobiles in the Slovak Republic in urban bus transport will increase significantly. In suburban bus transport, we propose to change the legislation of the Slovak Republic in order to partially start increasing the share of environmentally friendly vehicles. Another follow-up research question was whether gross domestic product (GDP) per capita influences the increased share of environmentally friendly buses in the European countries studied. Based on the correlation measure, there is a significant connection between GDP per capita and the proportion of eco-friendly buses in certain nations. In areas with higher GDP, or in more advanced regions, there is a larger percentage of environmentally sustainable buses. The largest share of environmentally friendly buses is in the Nordic countries of Europe, at 13.44%.
