==>> TRANSPORTING SYSTEM AND ORGANIZATION<<==
==>>
The transportation system in a developed nation is an aggregation of vehicles, guide-ways, terminal facilities, and control systems that move freight and passengers.These systems are usually operated according to established procedures and schedules in the air, on land, and on water. The set of physical facilities, control systems, and operating procedures referred to as the nation’s transportation system is not a system in the sense that each of its components is part of a grand plan or was developed in a conscious manner to meet a set of specified regional or national goals and objectives. Rather, the system has evolved over a period of time and is the result of many independent actions taken by the private and public sectors, which act in their
own or in the public’s interest. Each day, decisions are made that affect the way transportation services are used.

The decisions of a firmto ship its freight by rail or truck, of an investor to start a newairline, of a consumer to purchase an automobile, of a state or municipal government to build a new highway or airport, of Congress to deny support to a new aircraft, and of a federal transportation agency to approve truck safety standards, are just a fewexamples of how transportation services evolve and a transportation system takes shape.
