回答: Transit应该有交通的意思，那么它和Transportation的区别在哪里？ 由 gli 于 2005-1-25, 16:30:03:
我也拿不很准
This is from Webster:
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) : usually local transportation especially of people by public conveyance; also : vehicles or a system engaged in such transportation
2 a : passage of a celestial body over the meridian of a place or through the field of a telescope b : passage of a smaller body (as Venus) across the disk of a larger (as the sun)
3 : a theodolite with the telescope mounted so that it can be transited
我感觉，
１． Transit 意思较多
２．当Transit用作Transportation意思的时候又有些特指某类， 如上面１
交通方便我知道"Convenient Transportation"肯定是可以用的,
Take a look at this link

It has both transportation and transit in it, you can see transit is used as local transportation in it.
