An Urban Transport Authority is a government agency responsible for planning, developing, and managing public transportation systems within a city or metropolitan area. This includes overseeing buses, trains, subways, and other forms of transit to ensure they meet the needs of residents and visitors. The authority aims to provide efficient, safe, and accessible transportation options while reducing traffic congestion and environmental impact. The Urban Transport Authority also collaborates with local governments, community organizations, and private companies to improve transportation infrastructure. They may implement policies, set fares, and promote sustainable practices, such as public transit initiatives and bike-sharing programs, to enhance urban mobility and connectivity.
