Public transportation refers to a system of transport services that are available for use by the general public, typically consisting of buses, trains, subways, trams, and ferries. These services are usually operated on a scheduled basis and serve to transport individuals from one location to another within urban, suburban, or rural areas. Public transportation is designed to provide an accessible, efficient, and affordable means of travel compared to private vehicles, helping to reduce congestion, pollution, and transportation costs. It often involves shared rides, where multiple passengers use the same vehicle or route, fostering greater connectivity within communities and contributing to economic and social mobility. Public transportation systems may be publicly funded, privately operated, or a combination of both, and they play a crucial role in urban planning and development.
