Public transportation is an important part of many cities and towns, providing people with a convenient and affordable way to get around. It includes buses, trams, light rail transit (LRT), and railways. Buses are the most common form of public transportation, typically consisting of large vehicles that run on roads and can carry many passengers at once. Trams are similar to buses, but they run on tracks and usually have more limited routes. LRT is a form of public transportation that combines elements of both buses and trams, running on tracks but also having the ability to move around obstacles. Railways are the most traditional form of public transportation, consisting of large trains that travel along dedicated tracks. Lightrail is a newer form of public transportation that combines elements of both buses and railways, allowing for faster travel times and greater flexibility.
