Public transportation refers to a system of transportation that is available for use by the general public, typically consisting of various modes such as buses, trains, subways, trams, and ferries. These services are usually operated by governmental or municipal agencies and are designed to provide an accessible and affordable means of travel for individuals within urban or rural areas. Public transportation is an essential aspect of urban planning and infrastructure as it aims to reduce traffic congestion, lower environmental impacts by decreasing reliance on personal vehicles, and improve mobility for all members of the community, including those without access to private transportation.
