The development of efficient national transport networks which has high quality is required. Also, we can not disregard the environmental load which is emitted by the national transport systems. In this study, the improvement of convenience and CO2 emission by the development of high mobility networks consisting of air, railway and road networks is analyzed in quantity from 1960 to 2000. The change in convenience of high mobility networks is analyzed using the generalized cost. And also, we calculated and analyzed the amount of CO2 emission by high mobility networks. Then, we compared the change of users benefit and the economical value of CO2 emission. In the comparison analysis between improvement of convenience and change in CO2 emission by development of high mobility networks, it is found that change of the economical value of CO2 emission is greatly smaller than that of users benefit.
