Public Transportation

Public transportation refers to a system of shared transport services that are available for use by the general public. This typically includes vehicles such as buses, trains, subways, trams, and ferries that operate on scheduled routes and collect passengers at designated stops. Public transportation is designed to provide affordable and accessible mobility options, reducing the need for private car ownership and helping to alleviate traffic congestion and lower environmental impact. It plays a critical role in urban and suburban areas, facilitating the movement of people for work, education, and leisure. Public transit systems can be operated by government entities or private companies, often funded through a combination of fares paid by passengers and public subsidies.
