Transport or transportation is the movement of people and goods from one location to another. Transport is performed by various modes, such as air, rail, road, water, cable, pipeline and space. The field can be divided into infrastructure, vehicles, and operations.

Infrastructure consists of the fixed installations necessary for transport, and may be roads, railways, airways, waterways, canals and pipelines, and terminals such as airports, railway stations, bus stations, warehouses, trucking terminals, refueling depots (including fueling docks and fuel stations), and seaports. Terminals may both be used for interchange of passengers and cargo, and for maintenance.

Vehicles traveling on these networks include vehicles of appropriate types such as automobiles, bicycles, buses, trains, trucks people, helicopters, and aircraft. Operations deal with the way the vehicles are operated, and the procedures set for this purpose including financing, legalities and policies. In the transport industry, operations and ownership of infrastructure can be either public or private, depending on the country and mode.

Passenger transport may be public, where operators provide scheduled services, or private. Freight transport has become focused on containerization, although bulk transport is used for large volumes of durable items. Transport plays an important part in economic growth and globalization, but most types cause air pollution and use large amounts of land. While it is heavily subsidized by governments, good planning of transport is essential to make traffic flow, and restrain urban sprawl.

A. To start you would kill it if you were to transfer it there. Polar bears cannot survive there thus there is a reason they do not already live there. In saying that, if the bear is just going to die in no way shape or form would it be "cost effective". however if you wanted to transfer a Polar between zoos, facilities or at least to an area that it would survive it is done rather simple. The bears are given drugs to help them relax and remove stress during transport. They are contained within a steel cage and depending on where and how far they have to go the cage is placed into a truck or plane. There would also be a handler and at least one vet that would travel with the bear to make sure everything was ok.
