The environmental effects of transport itself are enormous as Vehicular Emission causing Air pollution,Noise Pollution, Fatalities etc, that erodes the natural resource base of an economy besides polluting the environment ina big way. This paper proposes advancement in mass transit systems by equipping them with alternative energygenerated by mechanical ramps and foot fall that generates electricity by harnessing the kinetic energy generated byautomobiles and commuters passing over it. The electricity hence generated would be renewable and sufficient enough torun the nearby street lights, stops or terminals and fare collection stations, making the mode of transit self- sustaining. Abrief application has been shown in this paper along with the mechanics upon which this method works and the expectedeconomic outputs are also proposed.
