Transport by use makes a poor taxonomy[edit]

Most classes should depend on motor car (Q1420), not on public transport (Q178512) or private transport (Q1661652) d1g (talk) 18:08, 12 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Please use has use (P366) instead[edit]

public transport, transport of organization (with/without timetable )[edit]

What is the name of public transport that runs on schedule/timetable and one that does not have a timetable? --Fractaler (talk) 18:19, 26 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Usage of timetable may vary between each route and each company.
Some routes are infrequent and only have opening hours. d1g (talk) 18:36, 26 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
taxi (Q82650) organization has no timetable. So what (public?) transport organization 1) necessarily have a timetable - there is an established (by organization) schedule), and 2) do not exactly have no timetable? --Fractaler (talk) 13:04, 27 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Taxi is a licensed occupation. In most countries, but not everywhere.
Each taxist can enter taxi-centric organization; this is optional.
Timetable is just irrelevant to taxi.
I can imagine that one bus can have a timetable with active days but not with hours:minutes.
I don't understand question about timetable and organizations. d1g (talk) 14:33, 27 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Which transport organizations necessarily have a timetable? --Fractaler (talk) 10:04, 28 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Is this table all right? "timetable transport" (transport on schedule) is "regular transport"? --Fractaler (talk) 11:54, 28 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
