These slides are about the mode of transportation with its definitions.

2. Rapid transit or mass rapid transit (MRT), also
known as heavy rail, metro, subway, tube, U-
Bahn, metropolitana or underground, is a type of
high-capacity public transport generally found
in urban areas. Unlike buses or trams, rapid transit
systems are electric railways that operate on an
exclusive right-of-way, which cannot be accessed by
pedestrians or other vehicles of any sort, and which
is often grade-separated in tunnels or on elevated
railways.
The world's first rapid transit system was the
partially underground Metropolitan Railway which
opened as a conventional railway in 1863, and now
forms part of the London Underground.

3. a vessel for transport by water, constructed to
provide buoyancy by excluding water and shaped to
give stability and permit propulsion.
a small ship, generally for specialized use:a fishing
boat.

4. a vessel larger than a boat for
transporting people or goods by sea.
Cruise ships are large passenger ships used
mainly for vacationing. Unlike ocean liners,
which are used for transport, they typically
embark on round-trip voyages to various ports-
of-call, where passengers may go
on tours known as "shore excursions."

5. Rail transport (also known as train transport)
is a means of transferring passengers and
goods on wheeled vehicles running on rails,
which are located on tracks.
Rail transport then commenced in mid 16th
century in Germany in the form of horse-
powered funiculars and wagonways. Modern rail
transport commenced with the British
development of the steam locomotives in the
early 19th century. Thus the railway system in
Great Britain is the oldest in the world. Built
by George Stephenson and his son Robert's
company Robert Stephenson and Company,
the Locomotion No. 1 is the first steam
locomotive to carry passengers on a public rail
line, the Stockton and Darlington Railway in
1825.

6. It is a large, heavy motor vehicle
used for transporting goods,
materials, or troops. And use for
long distances.

7. Karl Benz patented the three-wheeled
Motor Car, known as the "Motorwagen,"
in 1886. It was the first true, modern
automobile.

8. - a large motor
vehicle designed to
carry passengers
usually along a fixed
route according to a
schedule.

9. - a car with a driver who you pay to take
you somewhere:
- helping travelers, the general public,
tourists, and people with disabilities get from
place to place safely.
Taxis date back to 1605, when horse-drawn, for-
hire carriages operated in Paris and London.
Two centuries later, Joseph Hansom designed and
patented the faster and lightweight Hansom cab.
These cabs only required two wheels, meaning they
could be pulled by a single horse and navigate traffic
jams throughout London.
By 1907, these gasoline-powered and
taximeter-equipped cabs operated in New
York City. Harry N. Allen started his company,
the New York Taxicab Company, that year,
introducing gasoline-powered cabs with
taximeters that would charge customers based
on mileage.
Around this time, TLPA co-founder John Hertz
invented the yellow taxicab. As an entrepreneur in
Chicago in the early 1900s, he asked a local
university to scientifically identify which color was
the easiest to spot.

10. The first successful powered airplane was
created by Wilbur and Orville Wright in
1903 with a gasoline powered engine.
Before this it is thought Leonardo Da Vinci
was the first to come up with the idea of
flight in the late 1400s. Before the wright
brothers there were balloons and gliders.
The Wright brothers plane was name The
Wright Flyer. It started the idea that
planes could be used for longer range
transportation.
An airplane is a flying vehicle that has fixed
wings and engines or propellers that thrust
it forward through the air. It's most common
when you travel long distances to take
an airplane.

11. - is a type of aircraft that uses
rotating, or spinning, wings called
blades to fly. ... Unlike a balloon,
a helicopter is heavier than air and
uses an engine to fly.
A helicopter's rotating blades, or a
rotor, allow it to do things an
airplane cannot.
