NounSingular transportation Plural uncountable transportation (uncountable)
From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. Transport or transportation is the movement of people and goods from one location to another. Transport is performed by modes, such as air, rail, road, water, cable, pipeline and space. The field can be divided into infrastructure, vehicles, and operations. Infrastructure consists of the fixed installations necessary for transport, and may be roads, railways, airways, waterways, canals and pipelines, and terminals such as airports, railway stations, bus stations, warehouses, trucking terminals, refueling depots (including fueling docks and fuel stations), and seaports. Terminals may both be used for interchange of passengers and cargo, and for maintenance. Vehicles traveling on these networks may include automobiles, bicycles, buses, trains, trucks, people, helicopters, and aircraft. Operations deal with the way the vehicles are operated, and the procedures set for this purpose including financing, legalities and policies. In the transport industry, operations and ownership of infrastructure can be either public or private, depending on the country and mode. Passenger transport may be public, where operators provide scheduled services, or private. Freight transport has become focused on containerization, although bulk transport is used for large volumes of durable items. Transport plays an important part in economic growth and globalization, but most types cause air pollution and use large amounts of land. While it is heavily subsidized by governments, good planning of transport is essential to make traffic flow, and restrain urban sprawl. From Wikipedia under the

I am trying to decide whether to fly or drive, because it would probably be as cheap to fly there as it would be to drive.

There are plenty of shuttles from the airport - Grey line shuttles run every half hour from all the major hotels downtown. Most of the tourist sights are easily reached by walking, cab or the monorail. King county Metro buses are $1.25-1.50 depending on the time of day - And free in the downtown "core" of Seattle. Now, if you are coming out here looking for a potential place to relocate to, or are staying outside of the downtown area; I would strongly recommend driving/renting a car. Because of the water and hills, riding the Metro bus to any of Seattle's neighborhoods can take a lot of time.

Air travel that is "environmentally sustainable" would have to use fuel that is renewable, and that probably means combustible fuels produced from some sort of power that ultimately comes directly from the sun. Hydrogen comes to mind, or ethanol. However, as long as the planet's population continues to increase, there isn't any way to develop transportation systems that truly operate in a completely sustainable way, at least not with any current or foreseeable technology. The main danger to the environment is not in the way we use resources, but in the growth of the human population, which will eventually exhaust all resources no matter how they are used. In other words, any use of resources is fine if the population is small enough,… [cont.] Answered by Techwing - Fri Apr 24 21:37:16 2009 What are 10 statistics of transportation industry?
