Public Transit

Transit Overview

Transportation has become a central component of our lives; it provides us with the freedom to be connected to the communities, people, and places around us. Transportation can be classified into two types – Public and Private. Public Transportation is a shared passenger transport service, which is available for the general public’s use. It plays a vital role in the lives of those people who do not own a personal vehicle for transportation. As a result, it is often the only means of access for many individuals belonging to the low income, elderly, or disabled groups to support their essential service needs like medical care, social services, shopping, government centers, educational facilities, employment, and job training opportunities. To provide assistance to individuals with transportation needs, federal, state, and local governments; private, public, non‐profit organizations; and commercial operators all offer various transportation options.
