Public transportation is a shared passenger transportation service which is available for use by the general public, often in distinction from modes such as taxicab, car and/or vanpooling, or for hire bus companies which are not traditionally shared services. Public transportation modes can include buses, trolleys, trains, rapid transit and ferries.
Most public transportation runs on scheduled stops (fixed route service) and offers on-demand and/or paratransit services where fixed stops aren't feasible. Paratransit is a subscription service available where applicable for individuals who need a door-to-door service. Fixed Route Service: Fixed Route service is a bus service that travels along a route with identified stops and associated times, according to a weekly schedule.
