Which code does this activity belong in?
Urban Transit Systems establishments operate passenger transportation services on regular routes and schedules within metropolitan areas and their adjacent nonurban zones. These operations may employ multiple transport modes such as light rail, commuter rail, subways, streetcars, buses, and other motor vehicles. The boundary with Taxi and Limousine Service lies in the scheduling and routing: urban transit operates fixed routes on set schedules, whereas taxi and limousine services operate on a reserved basis without regular routes or timetables.
