Welcome to the blog that is dedicated to public transportation. Our articles will tell you about the different types of passenger transport, its purpose and features.
Public transport – passenger transport available and demanded for use by the general public.
The common feature of all types of public transport is that its users move in vehicles that do not belong to them. However, the reverse is not true. For example, school and service buses, internal transport of large enterprises and organizations, military echelons, etc. do not fall into the category of public transport, because they are not available to the general public and are not in demand by it. Elevators and escalators in buildings and houses usually do not belong to public transport because of the narrowness of their purpose (transportation of people within the building or house). In addition, such modes of transport as, for example, the airplane, which formally meet all the requirements, in practice are not always classified as public transport because of the high cost of travel.
For the same reason, luxury custom-made limousines and other carriages that are formally identical to cabs are not considered public transportation. Excursion buses, pleasure boats, etc. are also not considered public transportation, since their function is not to carry passengers.
