public transportation access

Public transportation access refers to the availability and ease with which people can use buses, trains, subways, or other transit systems in their community. It involves factors like location of stops or stations, frequency of service, affordability, and accessibility for all users, including those with disabilities. Good access ensures residents can conveniently reach work, education, healthcare, and other essential services without relying solely on private vehicles. Effective public transportation fosters mobility, reduces traffic congestion, and promotes equitable movement within urban and rural areas.
