Public transport (also known as public transportation, public transit, or mass transit) is a shared passenger-transport service which is available for use by the general public, as distinct from modes such as taxicab, carpooling, hired buses, and transportation network companies, which are not shared by the general public without private arrangement.

A bus (archaically also omnibus, multibus, motorbus, autobus) is a road vehicle designed to carry many passengers.

Buses can have a capacity as high as 300 passengers.

The most common type of bus is the single-decker rigid bus, with larger loads carried by double-decker and articulated buses, and smaller loads carried by midibuses and minibuses; coaches are used for longer-distance services.

Many types of buses, such as city transit buses and inter-city coaches, charge a fare.

Other types, such as elementary or secondary school buses or shuttle buses within a post-secondary education campus do not charge a fare.

In many jurisdictions, bus drivers require a special licence above and beyond a regular driver's licence.

Transport or transportation is the movement of people, animals and goods from one location to another.

Modes of transport include air, rail, road, water, cable, pipeline and space.

The field can be divided into infrastructure, vehicles and operations.

Transport is important because it enables trade between people, which is essential for the development of civilizations.

Rail transport is a means of conveyance of passengers and goods on wheeled vehicles running on rails, also known as tracks.

It is also commonly referred to as train transport.

In contrast to road transport, where vehicles run on a prepared flat surface, rail vehicles (rolling stock) are directionally guided by the tracks on which they run.

Tracks usually consist of steel rails, installed on ties (sleepers) and ballast, on which the rolling stock, usually fitted with metal wheels, moves.

Other variations are also possible, such as slab track, where the rails are fastened to a concrete foundation resting on a prepared subsurface.
