Many people don't have access to a car, so they need convenient transportation services. This is especially true in cities where traffic is heavy. Public transit can help to reduce congestion and reduce air pollution. It also allows people to save money by not having to own and maintain their own vehicle. In addition, riding public transit can save individuals a significant amount of money each year in avoided fuel costs, maintenance expenses and parking fees.

A major benefit of convenient transportation is that it enables people to access social services and activities in their communities that they would not be able to do otherwise. This can increase mental health and create a sense of belonging in the community. It can also combat loneliness and isolation. Loneliness and isolation can be caused by lack of transportation or a limited range of travel options.
