What Parts Work Together?

What makes a city's bus and train routes work? Imagine reading a book where each letter is important. In the transportation system, each part has its role, just like letters in a word. Buses and trains need routes, stops, schedules, and people—drivers, passengers, and planners.

Routes tell vehicles where to go, and stops provide places for picking up or dropping off passengers. Schedules make sure buses and trains come at expected times. If one piece is missing, the whole system might confuse people.

👀 Visualize This: Draw a simple city map. Include bus routes, a train line, a school, and a park. Label stops along the routes.

🧠 Pause & Think: What do you think would happen if there were no schedules for buses and trains?
