Summary/Abstract: This paper presents a method for calculating greenhouse gas emissions from passenger transport in Warsaw based on the results of the systematically conducted Warsaw Barometer survey. The results obtained for 2015 were compared to two other available estimates for this period. The total emissions in the presented method are very similar to previous studies and amount to just over 1.4 million kg CO2eq. However, significant differences emerge at the level of the breakdown by mode of transport – individual transport appears to be significantly overestimated, while collective transport appears to be underestimated. The article discusses the possible sources of the differences and makes recommendations that could lead to an increase in the reliability of the method presented.
