Abstract – Green transport system is recognized as one of the solutions to mitigate climate change. There is an enabling policy for a green transport system in Bhutan. The research was conducted in a right time as we are concern of emission from the transport sector that contributes to global warming. By switching urban transport system to green transport, an emission from the transport sector would reduce, thereby reducing global warming potential. Hence, this study analyzed the possibilities of establishing alternate mode of transport to an existing transport system with the emerging threat from climate change. A total of 1100 survey questionnaire was administered to different age groups in Thimphu city. The participants were from ten different sub-area of the study area. The willingness of people to use green transport and its fare were analyzed so that this study will not only inform people of Bhutan about demand of green transport system, but also serve as guidelines to policy makers and bureaucrats.
