Rapid Transit Authority

A Rapid Transit Authority is a government organization responsible for managing and operating a city's subway, metro, or light rail systems. It oversees the planning, funding, construction, maintenance, and scheduling of these urban transit services. The goal is to provide efficient, reliable, and accessible transportation for the public, reducing traffic congestion and pollution. By centralizing these functions, the authority ensures coordinated management, safety, and improvement of rapid transit systems, supporting the city's mobility needs and economic growth.
