Transit

Transit refers to the process of moving people or goods from one location to another, typically involving the use of vehicles or other modes of transportation. In urban contexts, transit often refers to public transportation systems such as buses, trains, subways, and trams, which facilitate the movement of passengers within and between cities. The term can also apply to the transfer of goods via shipping, aviation, or other logistics networks. In Hebrew, transit is translated as תנועה ציבורית (public transportation) or מעבר (passage). In Spanish, it is transporte público, in French transports en commun, and in German Öffentlicher Verkehr. Key aspects of transit include infrastructure, scheduling, fare systems, and the environmental and economic impacts of transportation networks. Efficient transit systems are crucial for reducing traffic congestion, lowering emissions, and enhancing urban mobility.
