It is foremost that you know the differences between public transport and private transport, what advantages or benefits they bring to help you make the best decisions to achieve your goals.
To achieve the objective of moving from one place to another, we can use public transport or private transport. It is foremost that you know the differences between one and the other, what advantages or benefits they bring to help you make the best decisions to achieve your goals.
Of course, both types of transport must cover the fundamental requirement – mobility. We know from our own experience that solving this by itself is not enough. The solution must be efficient, accessible, comfortable, safe, and the time-equals-money relationship must be satisfactory.
Here are the main differences between public and private transport:
Public Transport
It is a comprehensive system of public transportation that allows large numbers of people to travel. Passengers do not own the means of transportation, as it is a service provided by third parties (public or private companies).
It moves people from one point to another from a particular area, and each passenger pays a set rate depending on their route.
Passengers circulate and change continuously; nevertheless, their influx is varied, meaning that the number of passengers does not necessarily remain constant throughout the journey. Usually, there is a high level of passenger saturation or overcrowding.
The journey is not flexible. It obeys particular stops and routes.
It has specific routes and timetables; your journey depends on that, so you must organize your schedule based on these factors.
It is relatively cheaper than private transport.
The quality and condition of the vehicles can vary.
Private Transport
In this point, your private car or truck is an option. However, we will refer specifically to that transportation as a rental service.
Vehicle availability is not open to the general public. It is a service hired for a specific length of time or route.
You do not share this transport with other users unless you travel in a group with your family, friends, or colleagues.
It is an exclusive service. The transport does not randomly pick up passengers, nor are there stops that are not subject to the purpose of your journey.
The service is personalized and tailored to your needs. It adapts to your availability, timetable, and preferred route.
The service is flexible and will find the shortest route or with less traffic to get you to your final destination in the shortest time.
The professionalism of the drivers is a priority; they are subject to strict controls and licensing requirements. They must have vehicles that meet rigorous standards that ensure a comfortable ride.
Comfort and security are essential. There is more space for you, your luggage, and those who travel with you. Also, security cameras are required to work 24/7.
The hygiene of the unit is essential. The transport must be cleaned and disinfected exclusively for you.
Although the cost is higher, private transport must be efficient and provide you with a series of differentiators that make the cost-benefit profitable.
