Public Transportation

Public transportation refers to a system of shared passenger transport services that are available for use by the general public. These services typically include buses, trains, subways, trams, and ferries that operate on established routes and schedules. Public transportation is designed to provide an efficient, accessible, and cost-effective means of travel within urban and suburban areas, reducing the need for individual car use. It aims to enhance mobility for all members of the community, often serving specific needs such as commuting to work, attending school, or accessing essential services. Public transportation systems are usually managed by government entities or public agencies and may be subsidized to keep fares affordable.
