A '''local post''' is a [[mail]] service that operates only within a limited geographical area, typically a [[city]] or a single transportation route. Historically, some local posts have been operated by governments, while others, known as '''private local posts''' have been for-profit companies. Today, many [[stamp collectors]] operate '''hobbyists' local posts''', issuing their own postal "stamps" for other collectors but rarely carrying any mail.
