1 Transport is one ofthe aids to trade. By moving goods from places where they are plentiful toplaces where they are scarce, transport adds to their value. The more easilygoods can be brought over the distance that separates producer and consumer,the better for trade. When there were no railways, no good roads, no canals,and only small sailing ships, trade was on a small scale. 
2 The great advancesmade in transport during the last two hundred years were accompanied by a bigin crease in trade. Bigger and faster ships enabled a trade in meat to developbetween Britain and New Zealand, for instance. Quicker transport makes possiblemass-production and big business, drawing supplies from, and selling goods to,all parts of the global. Big factories could not exist without transport tocarry the large number of workers they need to and from their homes. Big citystores could not have developed unless customers could travel easily from thesuburbs and goods delivered to their homes. Big cities could not survive unlessfood could be brought from a distance. 
3 Transport alsoprevents waste. Much of the fish landed at the ports would be wasted if itcould not be taken quickly to inland towns. Transport has given us a muchgreater variety of foods and goods since we no longer have to live on what isproduced locally. Foods, which at one time could be obtained only during a partof the year, can now be obtained all through the year. Transport has raised thestandard of living. 
4 By moving fuel, rawmaterials, and even power, as, for example, through electric cables, transporthas led to the establishment of industries and trade in areas where they wouldhave been impossible before. Districts and countries can concentrate on makingthings which they can do better and more cheaply than others and can then exchangethem with one another. The cheaper and quicker transport becomes, the longerthe distance over which goods can profitably be carried. Countries with poortransport have a lower standard of living. 
5 Commerce requiresnot only the moving of goods and people but also the carrying of messages andinformation. Means of communication, like telephones, cables and radio, sendinformation about prices, supplies, and changing conditions in different parts ofthe world. In this way, advanced communication systems also help to developtrade.
