Public transport

Passenger transportation services available to the general public, typically operating on scheduled routes for a fare.

Public transport route: A defined path and sequence of stops served by a public transport service. Routes organize the destinations and stops that scheduled services connect.
Bus: A road vehicle designed to carry multiple passengers, often used for scheduled public transport. Buses provide flexible route coverage without requiring fixed rails.
Headway (transport): The time interval between successive vehicles or services on the same route. Headway determines how long passengers typically wait between departures.
Private transport: Passenger travel using vehicles not offered as shared public services, such as private cars or motorcycles. Private transport offers individual control rather than shared scheduled service.
Transit accessibility: The ease with which people can reach and use public transport services and destinations. Accessibility determines whether routes and vehicles are usable by people with different needs.
Public transport timetable: A published schedule specifying when public transport services are expected to operate. Timetables coordinate departures and transfers across a network.
Metro: An urban rail system providing frequent service, usually on segregated tracks. Metros move large passenger volumes through dense urban corridors.
Transit capacity: The number of passengers a transit service or system can carry over a specified time. Capacity limits how many passengers a route can accommodate at a given service level.
Taxi: A vehicle hired with a driver to carry passengers on a requested journey, usually for a fare. Taxis are generally requested for individual trips rather than run on fixed routes.
Transit equity: The fair distribution of public transport benefits, burdens, and access across communities. Service locations, fares, and quality can distribute mobility unequally.
