What is "public transportation"?

Public transportation refers to systems of transportation that are available for use by the general public, such as buses, trains, subways, and trams. These services are typically run by the government or private companies and are designed to provide an affordable, convenient way for people to travel within cities or between different areas. Public transportation is often scheduled and follows set routes, helping people get from one place to another without needing to drive their own vehicle. It can help reduce traffic, save money, and be more environmentally friendly.
