Public Transportation

Public transportation refers to a system of transport services that are available for use by the general public, typically consisting of vehicles such as buses, trains, subways, trams, and ferries. These services are usually operated by government agencies or private companies under governmental regulations, providing an affordable and accessible means of travel for individuals without the need for private vehicles. Public transportation is designed to serve a broad population, facilitating the movement of people within urban and rural areas. It aims to reduce traffic congestion, lower emissions, and provide equitable access to transportation options for all community members. Public transportation systems often have set routes and schedules, and may operate on a fare-based system, although some services can be subsidized or provided free of charge. By enabling the efficient movement of people, public transportation plays a crucial role in urban planning, economic development, and environmental sustainability.
