	Middle East Open Encyclopedia: Transport
		The growth in transport would be impossible without communication, which is vital for advanced transportation systems, from railroads which want to run trains in two directions on a single track, to air traffic control which requires knowing the location of aircraft in the sky.
		Transport is a major use of energy, and transport burns most of the world's petroleum.
		Infrastructure includes the transport networks (roads, railways, airways, waterways, canals, pipelines, etc.) that are used, as well as the nodes or terminals (such as airports, railway stations, bus stations and seaports).

	Mule - Psychology Central
		(The animal used for tourist transport on the Bright Angel Trail in the Grand Canyon is the burro, a variety of donkey.) Mules (and burros) can handle extremely rugged terrain and tracks that are too steep and twisted for either the less sure-footed horse or for a motor vehicle.
		In the early 20th century use of mules survived mainly in military transport, being used to haul caissons and artillery through nearly impassable terrain, the bravery and focused intelligence of the animal serving it well in the midst of the noise and confusion of warfare.
		Operators of working animals generally find mules preferable to horses: mules show less impatience under the pressure of heavy weights, while their skin, harder and less sensitive than that of horses, renders them more capable of resisting sun and rain.

		Further, draft animals can be used in planting and harvesting vegetative strips whose dual purposes are as fodder and for soil conservation.

		TR179 All public transport providers will be obliged to fully consult with and provide for cyclists, both on their vehicles (train, ferry, bus, light rail/tram, etc.) and at all the boarding and termination points where they run along fixed routes.
		TR204 Whilst public transport is generally a much safer form of transport than private transport in terms of injuries per distance travelled, it is recognised that safety is perceived by the public to be a problem, especially due to the scale of accidents where injuries result.
		TR206 Public transport is dependent upon the goodwill of its workforce who, by the nature of the work, have to endure unsocial working hours, including split shifts, frustrating working conditions, mainly due to the lack of vision in transport planning, and relatively poor pay.

		In the process of turning switchgrass into transport via the goat (or horse, or what-have-you) there is no energy wasted by building and maintaining huge machines, factories, mines or roadways.

	National Sporting Library - NSL Collection Highlights - The History of the Coaching Club, 1871-2000 by Tom Ryder

		Prince Phillip writes in the foreword of The History of the Coaching Club: "In this age of mechanical transport and jet aircraft, it is difficult to imagine that for thousands of years humans had to depend on their own two feet or on animal power to get from one place to another on land.
		This book is particularly timely as it covers the crucial period of transition from the horse-drawn to the mechanical transport eras.

	Steam railroad - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Steam railroads were so called because they were typically powered by steam locomotives hauling unpowered passenger or freight cars, as opposed to light railways that were more typically powered by electricity, cable or animal power.
		Steam railroad is a term used in the United States to distinguish conventional heavy railroads from street railways, interurban streetcar lines, and other light railways usually dedicated primarily to passenger transport.
		The term steam railroad continued in use in the generic sense long after most steam power disappeared from American railroads by the 1950s, but is now only used to describe tourist railroads that run steam locomotives.
