• Only for freight transportation,
•Include supporting facilities (pumping and exchange
stations).
• Sends goods (commonly liquid and gaseous)through a pipe
• Common goods transported by pipe are: petroleum,

• Require high intial capital investiment but low operation
cost due to computerized system
.
• Transportation develops because of several and frequently
overlapping factors.
• The need for transporting individuals over wider areas also arose.
• The geographical location of natural resources determines
the transport routes that gives access to those resources and
create economic utility,
• That is, time and place utility, by taking them from a location
where they have little values to processing and consuming
areas where their values is vastly increased.
