What is Transportation?

How do you go to school? Do you walk? Or do you go to school on your bike?

How does your family go to work? Do they walk or go by car? Or do they go to work on the subway?

Bikes, cars, buses, and subways are transportation.

Everybody needs transportation to get places – and to go on vacation! And then everybody needs trucks to move food and other things to the stores – again this is transportation.

The world has many types of transportation. Look, here’s a bike-rickshaw! The driver is carrying a lot of things to a store. It’s hard work!

What can you see on his bike-rickshaw?

Everybody needs fruit and other food, and we need transportation to carry it to the stores. Look out, here’s a big truck and it’s carrying potatoes to the supermarket.

Boats, airplanes, and many other types of transportation can carry things.

In the City – Wheels

Many types of transportation have wheels. In the city, bikes, scooters, cars, buses, and trucks have wheels. Their wheels help carry many things!

What is a wheel? It’s a machine – a very old machine. It’s more than 5,000 years old. Wheels are round and help move things. Look around you – can you see types of transportation with wheels?

Scooters, cars, buses, and trucks have engines to move their wheels. Engines need gas, so cities have many gas stations.

To travel in the city, buses are great. Go to the bus stop, and wait. But you don’t always have time to wait. This family don’t have time to wait today – they are visiting New York and it’s raining. So they get a taxi to the movie house.

Big cities have many taxis – New York has more than 13,000 famous yellow taxis. Every yellow taxi drives more than 200,000 kilometers in one year – or around the world three times.
