The trend of urban transportation policy has led to the sustainable development agenda specifically in reducing greenhouse gas production. Improvement in public transportation services was needed to decrease the number of private vehicles, which was directly proportional to fuel consumption. Our previous study regarding public transport had been carried out by measuring the contribution of Trans Metro Bandung (TMB) to the emissions in Bandung City. Emissions from other modes of public transportation such as Angkot (fleet of minibus), which had a greater number of units and routes compared to other modes was also needed to be elucidated. This research seeks to identify the contributions of Angkot emissions based on fuel consumption (Tier 2). The results showed that Angkot had a higher contribution to the emissions in Bandung City compared to the contribution of TMB. Therefore, a comprehensive transportation policy scheme was required to create a more integrated management of public transportation and emission standard. Enforcement to the Angkot operators was needed to apply and improve their service management. Thus, in the future, Angkot will be more environmentally friendly.
