Means of transport (meios de transporte)


People have always struggled to travel as fast as possible with maximum comfort, regardless of the means they use to move, be it by water, land or air.

Os seres humanos sempre pensaram deslocar-se o mais rapidamente possível com o máximo de comodidade. Não importa o elemento em que se deslocam: água, terra, ar.
