Transport

This solution encompasses a variety of strategies to enhance public transportation infrastructure and services. It can involve expanding networks (buses, trains, trams, etc.), increasing frequency and reliability, improving accessibility for people with disabilities, integrating different modes of transport, and implementing fare structures that encourage ridership. Ultimately, improved public transportation systems aim to provide a more attractive and convenient alternative to private vehicles.
