Importance of Transportation

IMPORTANCE OF TRANSPORTATION

The importance of transportation include the following:

1.     Availability of Raw Materials to Producers

With the aid of transportation, raw materials extracted are easily transported through the various means of transportation to industries or locations where they are processed into finished or semi-finished products. For instance, crude oil cannot be processed into fuel, kerosene etc without the help of transportation.

2.      Facilitates International Trade

Transportation has aided the movement of goods and services from one country to another. For instance, electronic product like radio, refrigerator, computer set etc. have been imported from Japan to Nigeria with the aid of transportation

3.      Employment Opportunities

Transportation is one of the main employers of labour, especially in the countries where white collar jobs are hard to come by (get). Many graduates work in Transportation Company like ‘The young shall grow’, ‘Edegbe Line’, ‘Libra Motor’ and so on. Also, countless number of Nigerians survive as motorcyclist, tricyclists, taxi drivers etc.

4.      Mobility of Workers

Workers from different parts of the country can be moved from one place to another with the aid of various means of transportation. For instance a worker residing in Benin can easily get to his/her place of work in Warri without much ado (delay).

5.      Improved Standard of Living.

Transportation has made it possible for goods and services to get to the consumers at the right time and in the right place. For instance, agricultural produce can get to urban cities while industrial products are made available to rural dwellers through the various means of transportation. This of course has helped to improve the quality of life of the people.

6.      Influences the Location of Industries

One of the conditions for siting industries is the availability of good transport network. This means that raw materials, semi-finished goods and finished goods can be moved to places where they are needed without any hindrance.
