ABSTRACT
The transport industry can generally be divided into two different types. One is transport within the productive branches. It serves only the production of a given enterprise and is one component of the production process. The other kind of transport provides external links among enterprises or among various sectors of the national economy. Marx characterized this kind of transport as "it appears as a continuation of a process of production within the process of circulation and in the process of circulation." The national economy and the people place two types of demand on the transport industry, namely, freight transport and passenger transport. There are comparatively more fixed assets in the transport industry. In transport, labor is applied directly to means of labor, and not to objects of labor. The operation of the means of labor simply results in the movement of goods and passengers.
