With one exception all transport systems in the UK are

Has anyone added Translink (bus and rail) to the list yet?

As far as I'm aware Translink is a service provider rather than an
infrastructure owner and not therefore relevant to the subject of this
thread.


Also various funiculars.

Funiculars are by their nature very local and generally privately owned
although some may be owned and/or operated by the local council. In terms of
essential transport provision I feel they fall outside the scope of this
thread.
