Transportation shapes the world: along with communications, it forms a global net that connects person to person, city to city, and country to country.Transportation routes as well as vehicles are vital to the functioning and spread of every civilisation.

A country's economy depends on reliable transportation.Cities spread out along roads, rivers, and railsso does information. Until the 20th century, these routes were confined to land or water.With the invention of the powered flight, the air became an open road as well.The earliest way of travelling was undoubtedly by foot, and humans' earliest means of transporting goods was carrying loads on their backs or shoulders.By 4000 BC, people were using domesticated animals for transport, a method greatly improved in some parts of the world by the invention of the wheel, probably first developed around 3500 BC.

Until the 19th century, animals were the engines of land transportation.But with the invention of the steam engine and the internal combustion engine,  railroads and automobiles revolutionized travel and trade.Millions of cars and trucks travel the world today.

Water transport has always been a fast and efficient mode of travel, and even today it remains a primary way of transportation of heavy goods.The importance of waterways to human civilisation can be seen on any mapalmost all of the world's major cities are located on coastlines or rivers.As early as 7000 BC, people were building canoes. Until the 1950s,  ships were the chief means of overseas passenger travel.

Although the Montgolfier brothers took flight in balloons in the 18th century, air travel was not practical until the invention of the powered flight by the Wright brothers in 1903.Within ten years, the commercial air transportation business began.

Since the 20th century, high-speed rail has become another convenient way of travel.By 2019, more than two-thirds of the world's operation length of high-speed rail was in China, which measured 35,000 km, and Chinese operation length of high-speed rail is expected to reach 38,000 km by 2025.
