LEGO City 8404 Public Transport

LEGO City 8404, Public Transport, is a City set from the Traffic subtheme, released in 2010. With 864 pieces, it depicts an urban public transport setting and the movement of people within a city scene.

Public Transport belongs to LEGO City, specifically the Traffic subtheme. Its subject is everyday urban movement, using public transport and city activity as the basis for building and play.

The set includes 864 pieces and 6 minifigures. The lineup consists of a man with a black vest over a white shirt and tie, a woman with a dark bluish gray jacket and magenta scarf, a man with a green V-neck sweater and glasses, a construction worker in orange overalls, a man in a black suit with a hat and beard, and a man in a white and blue hoodie. This mix gives the scene a broad urban cast.

It suits builders who want to expand a LEGO City layout with traffic, public transport and street life. It can be used for play, placed in a city display or collected as part of the 2010 Traffic range. Among City sets, its role is best understood as a setting builder, supported by varied figures rather than a single character focus.
