Public transportation refers to a system of transport that is made available for use by the general public, typically provided by governmental or private entities. This system includes various modes of transport, such as buses, trains, subways, trams, and ferries, which operate on scheduled routes and can be used by anyone. Public transportation is designed to provide affordable and accessible means of traveling within urban and rural areas, helping to reduce traffic congestion, lower environmental impact, and promote the mobility of persons who may not have access to private vehicles. It often operates on a fare system, where passengers pay to use the service, and can be funded through public subsidies, advertising, and ticket sales. Through its role in urban planning and public policy, public transportation aims to connect communities and improve the quality of life for residents by facilitating easier access to jobs, education, and services.
