How to use "Transit" in context?
When you think about transit, you might think about taking the bus, train, or airplane. But what about walking, cycling, or riding in a car? The Transportation Policy Institute at Rutgers University studied 139 cities in the United States, Canada, and Mexico and found that you can get around just as easily using different forms of transportation. In fact, in some cities, using different modes of transit can be a better way to get around than using a car.
For example, in Providence, Rhode Island, transit ridership is higher than car ownership.
