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, ferries, and other forms of mass transit. It is designed to provide affordable and efficient means of travel within urban and rural areas, enabling individuals to move from one location to another without the need for private vehicles. Public transportation systems are usually operated by government agencies or private companies and are often subsidized to keep fares low for users. These systems play a crucial role in reducing traffic congestion, lowering greenhouse gas emissions, and promoting accessibility for all members of society, including those who do not own a car. Public transportation can vary significantly in terms of coverage, frequency, reliability, and technological integration, impacting its overall efficiency and user experience.
