Public transport, also known as public transportation, refers to a system of transit services that are available for use by the general public. It encompasses various forms of transport, including buses, trains, subways, trams, ferries, and taxis that operate on scheduled routes, often with fixed stops. Public transport is designed to provide accessible and affordable mobility to a wide range of people, enabling them to commute, travel, and manage daily activities without the need for private vehicles.
The primary goals of public transport are to reduce traffic congestion, lower environmental impact, and enhance urban mobility. By providing an alternative to private car travel, public transport helps in minimizing road accidents, air pollution, and energy consumption. It plays a crucial role in urban planning and development, reflecting the integration of transportation infrastructure within cities to improve access to jobs, education, and services for the community. Public transport systems can be operated by government entities or private companies, and they may be funded through fare collection, subsidies, or a combination of both.
