Abstract
This paper first provided a brief background of public transportation development in the early age and how everything had transformed into modern society. Then dividing modern transportation development into different countries talked about each country’s uniqueness and compared them. Then, this paper connected the public transportation system with the field of media and communication. By providing and analyzing real events or research done in the field of advertising, political marketing, and social media, the present study shows how public transportation is connected to the media field in different ways. This paper further introduced what kind of positive impacts the relationship between social media and public transportation can be made to respond to an abnormal period of time in society. Lastly, this paper reiterated and concluded all the examples provided earlier in this paper around the relationship between public transportation in the media, making future prospects in the different fields of media and the relationship as a whole.
