    Transportation involves conveying people and goods from one place to another and overcomes the barriers of location. There are three main types of transportation: land, water, and air. Land transportation includes road, rail, and pipeline and is used for both short and long distance cargo and passenger transport. Water transportation is divided into inland and ocean transport, with inland being used for local goods transport and ocean facilitating international trade. Air transport is the fastest but is best for high value cargo due to limited volume.
