(examples of ‘public transport’ include…)
‘city buses’
‘trolleybuses’
‘trams’
(aka ‘light rail’)
‘passenger trains’
‘rapid transit’
(‘metro’ / ‘subway’ / ‘underground’)
‘ferries’
.
(‘public transport’ between ‘cities’ is dominated by…)
‘airlines’
‘coaches’
‘inter-city rail’
.
(‘high-speed rail networks’ are being developed in many parts of the world)
(most ‘public transport systems’ run along ‘fixed routes’ with set ’embarkation’ + ‘disembarkation’ points to a ‘prearranged timetable’, with the most frequent services running to a headway (e.g.: “every 15 minutes” as opposed to being scheduled for any ‘specific time of the day’))
(however, most ‘public transport trips’ include other ‘modes of travel’, such as passengers ‘walking’ (or ‘catching’) ‘bus service’s to access ‘train stations’)
(‘share taxis’ offer ‘on-demand services’ in many parts of the world, which may compete with ‘fixed public transport lines’, or complement them (by bringing passengers to ‘interchanges’))
(‘paratransit’ is sometimes used in areas of ‘low demand’ and for people who need a ‘door-to-door service’)
(‘urban public transit’ differs distinctly among ‘asia’, ‘north america’, and ‘europe’)
(in ‘asia’, profit-driven, privately-owned, and publicly-traded ‘mass transit’ and ‘real estate’ conglomerates predominantly operate ‘public transit systems’)
(in ‘north america’, ‘municipal transit authorities’ most commonly run ‘mass transit operations’)
(in ‘europe’, both ‘state-owned’ and ‘private’ companies predominantly operate ‘mass transit systems’)
(‘public transport services’ can be ‘profit-driven’ by use of ‘pay-by-the-distance fares’ or funded by ‘government subsidies’ in which ‘flat rate fares’ are charged to each ‘passenger’)
(services can be fully profitable through high ‘usership numbers’ and high ‘farebox recovery ratios’, or can be ‘regulated’ and possibly ‘subsidized’ from ‘local’ or ‘national’ tax revenue)
(‘fully subsidized’ + ‘free of charge’ services operate in some ‘towns’ and ‘cities’)
(for ‘geographical’, ‘historical’, and ‘economic’ reasons, differences exist internationally regarding ‘use’ and ‘extent’ of ‘public transport’)
(while countries in the ‘old world’ tend to have ‘extensive’ + ‘frequent’ systems serving their ‘old’ + ‘dense’ cities, many cities of the ‘new world’ have more ‘sprawl’ and much less ‘comprehensive’ public transport)
.
(the “international association of public transport” (UITP) is the ‘international network’ for…)
*public transport ‘authorities’ + ‘operators’*
.
*’policy decision-makers’*
.
*’scientific institutes’*
.
*the ‘public transport ‘supply’ + ‘service’ industry’*
.
(it has ‘3,400 members’ from ’92 countries’ from all over the ‘globe’)
