city transit
Metros and buses
City transit refers to public transportation systems operating within urban areas—buses, subways, light rail, and streetcars that move residents around a city.
The phrase emphasizes municipal infrastructure rather than intercity travel: The city transit authority raised fares again.
Someone might ask about city transit options when visiting an unfamiliar place.
