regional transit
Area public transportation
Regional transit is public transportation that connects different municipalities, suburbs, or areas within a larger metropolitan region, as distinct from local systems serving a single city.
The term encompasses buses, commuter rail, light rail, and ferries that cross jurisdictional boundaries: The regional transit authority coordinates service across five counties.
Planning often involves multiple governments sharing costs and routes.
