Public transportation refers to systems of transport that are available for use by the general public, typically consisting of vehicles such as buses, trains, subways, and trams that operate on scheduled routes and have designated stops. These services are usually managed by government agencies or private companies and aim to provide accessible and affordable travel options for individuals, reducing reliance on personal vehicles. Public transportation plays a crucial role in urban planning and mobility, facilitating movement within cities and between regions while also promoting environmental sustainability by reducing traffic congestion and greenhouse gas emissions. The system often incorporates various modes of transport into an integrated network, allowing for seamless transitions between different forms of transit.
