Transportation is the link between the processes of sourcing raw materials and
transporting the final goods to the final customer.
Historically, and still in most rural areas of Southern Africa, people use donkey carts and
horses as a mode of transportation to move goads around or travel between places.
Making use of public transportation involves various processes such as fleet management,
scheduling, route planning, dispatching and finally staff planning.
The process of transportation management is complex due to the nature of the goods or
people that are transported.
1. Explain the relevance of transportation planning in both the government and the private
