Public Transportation

Public transportation refers to a system of shared passenger transport services that are available for use by the general public. This includes various modes of transport such as buses, trains, subways, trams, ferries, and other forms of transit operated on a scheduled basis. Public transportation is typically provided by government agencies or private companies and is designed to offer affordable and accessible travel options for individuals who do not own a private vehicle or prefer not to drive. It plays a crucial role in urban planning and mobility by reducing traffic congestion, lowering emissions, promoting social inclusion, and improving access to essential services and employment opportunities. Public transportation systems often operate on fixed routes with designated stops, and they may offer different fare structures including single rides, passes, or subscriptions.
