* TheBadGuyWins: Granted, Bugs isn't really a "good guy" in this short, and he does ultimately win the race against Cecil. However, the cartoon ends with Cecil having the last laugh by tricking Bugs into having himself arrested for speeding. Ironically, despite being the only cartoon where Bugs actually wins the race against Cecil, it actually ends even ''worse'' for him than his previous two encounters with the turtle did.

* {{Jerkass}}: Both Bugs and Cecil, really. Bugs, in particular, is portrayed as a massive hothead - which, by 1947, was pretty out of character for the rabbit.

* NotSoInvincibleAfterAll: In his previous two appearances, Cecil was consistently one step ahead of Bugs, while here Bugs actually gets the upper hand a few times, at one point even causing the turtle to severely lose his cool. This culminates in Bugs actually managing to win the race, though Cecil still happily settles for a moral victory as Bugs is arrested for speeding.

* PyrrhicVictory: While Bugs actually manages to win the race against Cecil this time, Cecil tricks him into getting himself arrested for over-speeding via an EngineeredPublicConfession, so Bugs gets no joy in winning the race in the end.

"Rabbit Transit" is a 1947 WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes short, directed by Creator/FrizFreleng and starring WesternAnimation/BugsBunny, as the final short of the "Cecil Turtle trilogy" (after WesternAnimation/TortoiseBeatsHare in 1941 and WesternAnimation/TortoiseWinsByAHare in 1943).
While taking a steam bath, Bugs reads Literature/AesopsFables and is infuriated at the way Literature/TheTortoiseAndTheHare ends -- namely, that the hare loses to the tortoise in a race. Bugs doesn't believe that such a scenario could actually happen for real, but Cecil, who's steam-bathing next to Bugs, disagrees, and so the two of them decide to have a race to settle the matter.
