First, consider the fact that transportation is a necessity, as people need to move from one place to another to make ends meet. Or the fact that every single day, thousands of people are constantly moving from one part of the federation to another.

The implication being that, most people rely heavily on public transportation and logistics to manage their businesses and daily lives. Transportation business is really booming now, more than ever. The mode of service delivery may differ, but the earning potential of the business still remains the same.
