Public Transit

Public transit refers to a system of transport services that are available for use by the general public, typically consisting of various modes of transportation such as buses, trains, subways, trams, and ferries. These services are designed to facilitate the movement of people within urban and suburban areas, providing an alternative to private vehicle use. Public transit is often operated by government entities or private companies under public contracts, and it usually offers scheduled services that run along fixed routes. The primary goal of public transit is to improve accessibility, reduce traffic congestion, enhance mobility, and promote environmentally sustainable transportation options. It plays a critical role in urban planning and community development by connecting individuals to jobs, education, and essential services.
