    A study about the direct and indirect emission of Greenhouse Gas was developed to determine the Carbon Foodprint in the bus stations of Riobamba city. The aim is to reflect one of the biggest problems about environmental pollution that affects the whole world and the society. The indirect emission of energy or “Alcance 2” was determined through the electricity consumption in KWh of the buildings that belong to the local and inter-cantonal bus station. The emissions of “Alcance 3” were achieved with the equipment: Bacharach ECA 450 in mg/m3 which helped to calculate the factor of emission of CO2 and N2O in kg/TJ. The factor of emission of CH4 was bibliographically achieved. Then, it was calculated the emission of CO2, N2O and CH4 in tons and the carbon foodprint in t CO2 –e. The average value of the emission factor of CO2, wich is the highest, had a value of 57690,128 Kg CO2/TJ being this one lower than the emission factor reported in the IPCC 74100 Kg CO2/TJ. Meanwhile, the Carbon Footprint for the “Alcance 1” was 0,000 t CO2 –e due to the lack of a particular car owned by the transport stations, “Alcance 2: 0,553 t CO2 –e and “Alcance 3”: 37388,225 t CO2 –e. The “Alcance 3”, which belongs to the vehicle fleet of all the bus stations of Riobamba city, has a higher contribution to the Carbon Footprint. That is why it should be taken into account that the factors influencing to the increasing of the emission of Greenhouse Gas are: technology, operation of buses and characteristics of diesel fuel.
