## Reasons to why transport systems are needed in cities ### Movement of people * **It is important to facilitate the everyday mobility of people travelling to work.** Residential and commercial areas (workplaces) may not be in the same areas. Hence, people need to be supported to travel to work and from their homes daily. * **Transport also is important to provide social activities and amenities that will improve people's social and emotional well-being.** It also ensures that it is convenient to reach such places. ### Movement of goods and services * **It is important to the functioning of economic activities - supplying goods and services from where they are produced to where they are consumed.** * **E-commerce goods and services are bought and sold online, which has increased the demand for door-to-door deliveries.** This demand must be supported by good transport systems. * **People also depend on services delivered using the transport system for their daily basic needs.** For example, trucks deliver water for consumption in some cities.
