Urban transit authorities
Urban transit authorities are government or public organizations responsible for planning, managing, and operating city transportation systems like buses, subways, and light rail. They ensure reliable, safe, and efficient travel within urban areas, often subsidizing costs to keep fares affordable. These agencies coordinate routes, schedules, and maintenance, aiming to reduce traffic congestion, pollution, and make commuting accessible for residents. They may also oversee infrastructure development, transit planning, and funding to support sustainable urban mobility.
