my latest and final intro..i think..


intro of Transportation :


What is transportation? 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"). Transports have many categories such as Animal-powered transport, Aviation, Cable transport, Human-powered transport, Hybrid transport and Ship transport. Industries which have the business of providing equipment, actual transport, 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.

Intro of Courier :

Courier companies used transportation as they’re main business. The basic definition of "courier" is simply someone who delivers something from one place to another place. A courier is a messenger, conveying something of importance from the sending source to the receiving source. They Provide services to companies and individuals who need rapid service, accountability, and tracking that regular mail does not accommodate. Within this definitive context, couriers and courier services can come in many different types and styles.

In past times, before there were vehicles, couriers were usually just individual messengers, who traveled from one place to another to deliver news, documents, or products to the destination. Examples of this were the courier services of medieval times, which were one or more people who delivered messages or goods on horseback, or the famous pony express riders, who relayed messages or goods across the United States by passing them along from rider to rider until they reached their destination. Courier services, as well as trains also used stagecoaches after they started coming into regular use. As time progressed and the age of technology set in, courier services began to use vehicles such as automobiles, modern trains, and airplanes.
