metropolitan transit systems

Metropolitan transit systems are organized networks of public transportation that serve urban areas, enabling people to move efficiently within a city and its surroundings. They typically include buses, subways, light rail, and commuter trains, operated by a coordinated entity to reduce traffic congestion, lower pollution, and provide accessible travel options. These systems rely on scheduled routes and fare collections to ensure reliable and safe service for daily commuters, students, and visitors alike, supporting the functioning and growth of urban communities.
