public transit routes

City transportation paths

Public transit routes are the fixed paths traveled by buses, trains, subways, and other shared transportation systems.

A route connects specific stops or stations along a designated course: The new light rail route runs from downtown to the airport.

Transit agencies publish route maps and schedules so riders know where and when vehicles operate.

Routes are typically numbered or named for reference: Take the 42 bus, the Red Line.
