STRUCTURE
OF THE TRANSPORTATION INDUSTRY
Transportation being used by all sectors of the economy,
the structure of each transportation industry has to adjust itself
to the changes in the economy and evolving transportation needs.
Transportation
is integrated to society, and its priorities and goals shift as
society's needs change. Society's concerns evolve, forcing transportation
to adjust. Various factors come into play in shaping the evolution
of the industry structure of each mode of transportation, factors
such as competitive forces, price changes, financial results,
changes in needs, traffic levels.
This chapter presents
an overview for the four modes of transportation in Canada's transportation
industry -- rail, trucking and bus, marine, and air. Major events,
including legislative changes are highlighted.
