Urban Transit Systems
How urban transit systems are reshaped as AGI capability advances.
The bottom line
Only about 15% of Urban Transit Systems is information work today — the rest is physical, and moves slowly. The exposure is concentrated in the back office: the books, the paperwork, the scheduling, the marketing.
Why: The NAICS lens and description describe operating physical transit modes such as buses, light rail, and streetcars. While child occupations lack known digital scores, their names (Bus Drivers, Subway Operators, Maintenance Workers, Cleaners) clearly indicate the core value-producing work consists of hands-on vehicle operation and mechanical maintenance, placing this firmly in the physical band.

Business-as-Code
Read as an executable program — the work decomposed into Code, Generative, Agentic, and Human.
Urban Transit Systems sits inside a larger value-flow — 1 parent structure it composes into. The hierarchy is grounding, not the story: it tells you which aggregate exposure Urban Transit Systems inherits.
Urban Transit Systems links to 4 entities via `specializes` — a real edge on the economy graph, surfaced here so the claim stays grounded in data rather than assertion.
Urban Transit Systems is itself composed of 4 parts that flow up into it — the sub-units whose work, summed, is what AGI capability re-prices here first.
Autonomous Agents as digital employees
Which of this work becomes digital labor — performed under typed authority, promoted to autonomy on track record.
Urban Transit Systems employs 62 occupations — the workforce whose routine, information-shaped tasks an autonomous stack can take under typed authority.
