Transportation, or more basically, movement, is fundamental to the economic activity of exchange. At the most basic level, humans move and thus interact with each other by walking, but transportation geography typically studies more complex and regional or global systems of transportation that include multiple interconnected modes like public transit, personal cars, bicycles, freight railroads, the Internet, airplanes and more. Transport and Urban geography are closely intertwined. Cities are very much shaped, indeed created, by the types of exchange and interaction facilitated by movement. Increasingly since the 19th century, transportation has been seen as a way cities, countries or firms compete with each other in a variety of spaces and contexts.Transportation geography measures the result of human activity between and within locations. It focuses on things such as travel time, routes chosen, modes of transport, cost and resource use. Other topics of interest include topography, safety of vehicles, and energy use within an individual's or group's journey.The purpose of transportation is to move through space, which is shaped by both cultural and physical constraints such as distance, political boundaries, time, and topography."@en }
