Explanation
การขนส่งสาธารณะ is made from การขนส่ง, meaning transportation or transport, and สาธารณะ, meaning public. It is a slightly formal, explanatory phrase used for public transportation as a system or service. It is common in news, government language, urban planning, travel information, and policy discussions. In casual conversation, people often name the specific mode instead, such as รถเมล์ for bus, รถไฟฟ้า for urban electric train, or รถไฟใต้ดิน for subway.
Usage
Use this phrase when talking about commuting, school travel, tourism information, transportation policy, city planning, traffic reduction, or environmental issues. It fits phrases like “use public transportation,” “improve public transportation,” or “public transportation costs.”
Caution
Do not use it for parcel delivery or freight logistics. For those meanings, การขนส่งสินค้า means freight transport, and การจัดส่งพัสดุ means parcel delivery.
