Thesis
Transportation is the driving force in business in the 21st century, without the right transportation companies will not be able to get their goods/supplies to their consumers worldwide. The modes of transportation differs from companies to companies threw air, sea, or train there’s always a means of transportation.
We will discuss numerous modes of transportation available to companies. How does different modes of transportation affect companies financially? How does it does transportation save companies time, and how does it control the inventory of a company? And is profitable to the consumers? How does it affect the stock market? Most importantly how does the different modes of transportation affect the earth environment and natural resources? Finally, is there any room to improve or make the different modes of transportation better for future business?

Modes of Transportation
We will look at the first mode of transportation: transportation via air; how does air transportation profit a company financially, saved time, and maintain a company inventory?
They are many different type of air transportation both commercially and privately. Some of these types have been developed over the course of decades or even centuries to meet the needs of modern humans. Each different type is unique in the way it achieves flight, the speed it travels and the sustainability of its voyage.
Many of the inventions have developed into large scale industries. On account of speed companies are able to service their consumers in faster manner and prompt service, although the cost of air transportation involves higher cost, however it save companies time and allows them to be more efficient on deliveries. According to an article by Jason Fell, in entrepreneur. Mr. Fell covers how using the right modes of transportation can save companies more than 40 percent or more on their fees of shipping. Air mode transportation also keep products safe, by doing so inventory of supplies is not mishandled or damage. Keeping down the costs of return items to a minimal. The saving permit a companies to be more marketable to investor, keeping stock options at a competitive interest.
Air transport has a major impact on the environment considering the effects it has on the atmosphere, because the amount of petroleum being burnt into the ozone; consequently this reason has a major contribution to global warming causing environmentalists to impose more regulations on companies to be air pollution friendly.

How is sea another modes of transportation, and how does it affect business finance, save time, and profits consumers? How does this mode of transportation affect the environment?
Sea transportation is the way to keep the world connected. There are many types of water transport, including barges, ships, ferries, tug boats, rigs and sailboats. Vessels used for water transport may serve several purposes, but they are primarily used to move people and goods across bodies of water such as oceans, lakes, canals and rivers.
Sea transportation is slow compared to most versions of land or air transport, but it is less expensive than those modes of transportation and is useful for transporting non-perishable goods in large quantities. Roughly, 7.4 billion tons of these goods were transported by sea worldwide, much of them on container ships. Not only is it cost effective, but also it is a major saving for consumers.
Sea transport mode is by far the most effective mode of transportation, however it cause the most damage to the environment according to a study done by Åke Sjödin and Eje Flodström of the Swedish Environmental Research Institute in April 2007 how the petroleum affect the products due to oil spills and leakage will cause safety and health hazards to sea mammals such as dolphins, wales, other sea living creatures. Furthermore, this spills can also cause harms to human health. Nonetheless, ships are working closely with engineering and ships builders to prevent less of sea accidence.

What role does the train system play in the modes of transportation financially, saving time, and beneficially to costumers? And what role does it play in global warning?
The train system is one of the oldest way to transport goods and people. This method is usually utilize by companies to move slow moving supplies and freights. This system is cost effective when it comes to saving of man-power meaning, where companies are able to save on wages of employees. However, is often less flexible and more capital-intensive than highway transport is, when driver and lower traffic levels are considered.
The train modes of transportation save on the high cost of gas, and have become more environment friendly over the years.

In conclusion, these different modes of transportation have some sort of positive and negative factors. Nevertheless, as technology continue to change and companies keep on growing. They will need to figure out a way to save money, keep customers happy, nonetheless, until a scientific syfy teleporter is created these methods are going to have to endure the transportation of the world. Protecting the ozone and atmosphere have to be protected for human-being to remain in existence on this planet.
