Operator
ORGANISATION is specialised to define the concerns that run Public Transport, specifically OPERATORs of Transport and AUTHORITies. Collectively these are called TRANSPORT ORGANISATIONs and are generally interchangeable in the schema, that is an AUTHORITY can be used in most places where an OPERATOR is indicated.
