It’s common sense that one bus is going to be more polluting than one car.   It’s the number of cars that that bus can replace that’s the important figure. 

A quick Google brings up some stats that a bus carrying average occupancy of nine passengers is more polluting than a car with average occupancy of 1.57 people.

yeah - https://www.newcastle.gov.uk/sites/defau...202021.pdf (Page 28)

Some of the worst readings are in bus only or very very limited car areas. DT65 being the worst which is on Blackett Street. They're also the ones which are nearest people so they're more important than say Scotswood Road.

DT8/20/21 are Market Street
DT29/30/31 are Percy Street
DT7/64/65 are Blackett Street
DT6 is John Dobson Street
DT5 is St Mary's Place

Very hard to blame any of those on cars as there isn't any down those roads or very few. They were all up there with the worst last year infact DT29/30/31 and DT65 were last year other than the Tyne Bridge.

They're much worse than the likes of DT85/86 which are St James' Boulevard or DT91/92 which are Scotswood Road (some double).
