transit\'tran(t)s-et, 'tranz-\ n [L transitus, fr. transitus, pp. of transire to go across, pass} (15c) 1 a: an act, process, or instance of passing through or over ; PASSAGE b: CHANGE, TRANSITION c (1) : conveyance of persons or things from one place to another (2) : usu. local transportation esp. of people by public conveyance; also : vehicles or a system engaged in such transportation.

What is transit? To some transit is limited to public buses, light rail, trains, seabuses and other forms of public transportation as point (2) in Webster's definition (above) seems to support. However, I would argue that points (1) and (3) imply that transit includes any form of transportation or infrastructure that supports it thereby allowing people and things to move.

This should then include cycling and cycling infrastructure. What do you think? Is money spent on cycling infrastructure not money invested in better transit? I think so!
