Public transport refers to a system of vehicles and services that are made available for use by the general public to facilitate the movement of individuals within and between areas. This includes various modes of transportation such as buses, trains, subways, trams, ferries, and other forms of shared transport. Public transport is typically operated by governmental or municipal organizations or private companies contracted by government entities.
The primary purpose of public transport is to provide an accessible, cost-effective, and efficient means of travel, promoting mobility for everyone, including those who do not own personal vehicles. Public transport often plays a critical role in urban planning and development, contributing to reduced traffic congestion, lower environmental impact, and greater social inclusion by connecting communities, providing access to jobs, education, and services.
Public transport systems vary widely in their structure, frequency, coverage, and fare systems, and they are integral to the infrastructure of both cities and rural areas, supporting economic growth and sustainability.
