Public transportation refers to a system of transport services that are available for use by the general public. It typically involves transit systems such as buses, trains, subways, light rail, and ferries that operate on scheduled routes and have designated stops. Public transportation is often characterized by its ability to accommodate a large number of passengers, its relatively low cost compared to private vehicle use, and its potential to reduce traffic congestion and environmental impact. It serves as an essential component of urban infrastructure, providing mobility for commuters, students, and individuals without private vehicles, thereby promoting accessibility and social equity within communities. The effectiveness of public transportation systems can impact urban development, economic growth, and the overall quality of life for residents.
