transit authorities
Public transport managers
Transit authorities are government agencies that operate public transportation systems within a city or region—buses, subways, commuter rail, ferries.
They set routes, schedules, and fares, and maintain infrastructure.
Major examples include New York's MTA and London's TfL.
The transit authority announced service cuts due to budget shortfalls.
