Transport
Transport, or transportation (as it is called in the United States), is the movement of people and goods from one place to another. The term is derived from the Latin Trans meaning across and Portare meaning carrying.
Common modes of modern transport include human powered vehicles, motor vehicles, trains, airplanes, and ships. Transport and communication are both substitutes and complements, the growth in transport would be impossible without communication, and the increase of one generally leads to more of the other.
