Transport or transportation is the movement of people and goods from one place to another. The term is derived from the Latin trans (”across”) and portare (”to carry”). Industries which have the business of providing equipment, actual transport, transport of people or goods and services used in transport of goods or people make up a large broad and important sector of most national economies, and are collectively referred to as transport industries.
