ühistranspordiliigid

Ühistranspordiliigid refer to various forms of public transportation available to the general public, offering shared journeys for multiple passengers. These services are typically operated by a central authority or private companies and are designed to be accessible and affordable.

Common types of ühistranspordiliigid include buses, which operate on fixed routes and schedules, serving both urban and intercity travel. Trams and light rail systems are electric vehicles that run on tracks, often within city limits, providing efficient transport for dense urban areas. Trains, ranging from commuter rail to long-distance services, connect cities and regions, offering a popular option for intercity and regional travel.

Ferries and water buses provide transportation across bodies of water, such as rivers, lakes, and coastal areas, particularly important in archipelagic or water-rich regions. Metro or subway systems are underground or elevated electric railways, primarily found in large metropolitan areas, offering rapid transit and bypassing road traffic. Additionally, some areas may utilize shared taxis or minibuses as part of their public transportation network, often serving less densely populated routes or acting as feeder services. The primary goal of ühistranspordiliigid is to reduce individual car dependency, thereby mitigating traffic congestion, lowering emissions, and improving accessibility for all members of society.
