Operated By

This dimension groups transport infrastructure by the organization that runs it day to day, as distinct from whoever built it. Wikipedia describes public transport systems as ones that "typically operate on fixed routes and schedules and charge a standardized fare intended to cover operating costs," and an operator is the body responsible for keeping that promise. Browsing by operator lets a visitor see everything one company or agency runs, whatever it was originally built for.
