Transportation allows goods to be moved from one point to another.
The concept of transportation is used to describe the act and consequence of moving something from one place to another. It also allows us to name those devices or vehicles that serve this purpose, carrying individuals or merchandise from a certain place to another.
Some examples where the term may appear could be: "Transportation took more than two hours compared to the scheduled departure time," "I would like to go on vacation, but the price of transportation is becoming more and more expensive and I don't have enough money. " » .
Transportation and logistics
Transportation is part of logistics , which is the set of means and methods that allow organizing a service or a company .
In the world of commerce , logistics is linked to the placement of goods in the right place, at the right time and under the right conditions. Therefore, the transportation of goods is within it. The objective of a company is to guarantee the correct distribution and marketing of products at the lowest possible cost. In this sense, transportation includes both vehicles and related infrastructure (trucks, ships , freight trains, roads, ports, etc.).
Classification according to type
There are two types of transportation, public and private.
We speak of public transportation , to refer to buses, trains and other mobile units that serve to mobilize the citizens of a community and that are financed and managed by the current State . It should be noted that in some cases, these cars belong to private companies that have some type of agreement with the government and have assumed the responsibility of providing a certain service to the community. It is important to note that this type of transportation is not intended to generate profits, but rather must fulfill a social purpose and be useful to the community. For example: "Public transport is collapsed and requires greater investments to satisfy the needs of the population."
Private transportation , on the other hand, is that which belongs to individuals or private companies. In this case, those responsible for the maintenance of said vehicles are their owners, as well as those responsible for them in the event of an accident.
Public transportation makes it possible for citizens to travel .
guitar transport
In music, the concept is used to refer to a flexible object that is placed on the neck of the guitar and other stringed instruments to translate the tonality of a piece without changing the digitization (drawings that are made with the left hand on the strings to produce the desired sound).
When you place it, even if you finger in a key, the sound you will get will be a higher key . For example, if you place the transport on the first fret and finger an Em (E minor), the sound made will be a Fam (F minor), and if you move it one more fret, you will obtain an F#m (F sharp minor).
Its uses can be two:
* Raise the tuning of the instrument : allowing you to accompany other instruments or a singer playing at the most comfortable height;
* Play difficult chords in a simpler way : By placing it, certain chords considered complex such as B flat Major or F Major, which require placing the index finger transversely (capo), can be simplified; It is very useful for beginners or those guitarists with little skill.
Although many refer to it as a mute , it is necessary to point out that this is wrong since its functionality is to turn off the sound and not modify it. On the other hand, another way of calling this gadget is with the term capotraste .
Finally, it is worth mentioning that its creator was the Andalusian guitarist José Patino González, known throughout the globe under the pseudonym El Maestro patiño.
