As economies in the region continue to grow, more people are able to afford public transportation services, leading to increased ridership and revenue for public transportation operators. In conclusion, the Public Transportation market in Eastern Asia is experiencing growth and development due to changing customer preferences, government initiatives, and underlying macroeconomic factors.
