Transit refers to the movement of people or goods from one place to another. This can include various modes of transportation, such as buses, trains, subways, and ferries. Transit systems are essential for urban areas, helping to reduce traffic congestion and providing access to jobs, education, and services. Public transit is often managed by local or regional authorities and can be funded through fares, taxes, and government subsidies. Efficient transit systems contribute to environmental sustainability by lowering carbon emissions and promoting the use of bicycles and walking as complementary modes of transport.
