Hi everyone, just letting you all know my most recent edits, I have spruced up the article by removing unnecessary images and clearing up thumbnails to easily read galleries. I've also added some bits. Please let me know upon reply of this message on whether you like it before reverting it, as I love

Oh dear, this smells of debates from many years ago - the diversity of terminology in transport (very specifically rail was a major component) was sorted close to fifteen years ago with the american continent having terminology that is variant from british, and again from europe, and then as Fork99

No objection to changing the entire article to American English, but I completely disagree that the term "public transport" is "pretentious", it's commonly used in Commonwealth countries. I would never use "public transit" to refer to public train/bus/ferry/similar services as an Australian English
502:"Public transport" is pretentious and clumsy. In my own experience, and ccording to my Google Ngrams, "Transit" is much more common. "Public transport" is more common in British English than American English, but even there "Transit" is more common. The article itself uses "Transit" in places. 552:. Perhaps you did "public transport" vs "transit"? I think that would provide inaccurate results because "transit" could refer to things outside of this topic, like "transiting flights" or "I'm transiting through X country to get to Y country". 595:
points out australia/new zealand have variants. I do think respect for the variants is very important, and just because a logarithm defined money oriented aggregator of sorts combines things, is not a reason to come to a decision to change.

While notability is indeed a bit of an issue, I'm thinking that the format of the combined article is a bigger problem. How will it present itself going forward? (it takes more than content to improve notability)

Interestingly, if you add "mass transit" to the comparison, nowadays it falls below the graph for the other two terms, but had a spike in the 1980s.

I just did an Ngram search myself for "public transport" and "public transit", and "public transport" wins out by far. See

OK, "pretentious" is a subjective evaluation, but so is "I would never use." Let's fall back to the Google NGrams data.

Dude, jumping into an argument that's already been decided is pretty obnoxious.
