Transportation
People need to move from one place to another to pursue their interests. They may need to move within the same city or country, or travel abroad. Transportation helps them to do so easily and comfortably. In this essay, I will talk about transportation, its benefits, and its types. In addition, I will talk about how to make transportation more environmentally friendly.
Transportation is any mechanized vehicle, or other means, that can be used to transport people, goods, animals, and other objects from one place to another. Transportation is not a new invention. Ancient civilizations knew and used it, but it was different from the modern transportation that we know today. In the past, people used animals to carry people and goods, such as camels and horses. They also used sailing ships and wooden boats. There are three main types of transportation, which differ from each other depending on the method of transport. These types include land transportation, air transportation, and marine transportation. As for land transportation, it is the movement of people and things by land, through train, car, bus, truck, and other vehicles. While air transportation includes airplanes, which can transport people and things over very long distances. As for marine transportation, it depends on water bodies, and examples of it are ships and boats. On the other hand, transportation has many benefits, such as saving time and effort, facilitating trade exchange between countries, allowing people to visit other places and learn new things, and giving employees the opportunity to work in places far from their homes.
Transportation is important in our lives, but it pollutes the environment. To reduce its effects, it is advised to use mass transportation. It is recommended to maintain the vehicles regularly as well. Transportation can also be replaced by cycling or walking.
