Abstract
⺠We assess the health impacts of replacing car trips by bicycle or public transport. ⺠Replacement of the car trips reduces mortality in travellers who shift the mode. ⺠Replacement of the car trips also reduces mortality in residents of urban areas. ⺠Replacement of car trips can reduce the emissions of CO2.
