Land Transportation
1. 4 - Wheeled Horse-Drawn Carriages (Year 1100)
Horse-Drawn Carriages are developed, but they are only available to the rich.
2. Bike (Year 1790)
Modern bicycles are invented by Kirkpatrick MacMillan
3. 1st Steam Engine (Year 1801)
Richard Trevithick invented the first steam powered locomotive (designed
for roads)
4. 1st Gasoline-Powered Automobile (Year 1862)
Jean Lenoir makes the first gasoline engine automobile.
5. 1st Motorcyle (Year 1867)
The motorcyle is invented by Gottlieb Daimler.
6. 1st Car with Internal Combustion Engine (Year 1885)
Karl Benz builds the world’s first practical autombile to be powereed by an
internal combustion engine.
7. Electric Streetcars (1912)
By the early 1900s, American cities had grown. So, too, had public
transportation. The electric streetcar became a common form of transportation.
These trolleys ran on metal tracks built into streets.
8. Automobiles (Year 1930)
By 1930, more than half the families in America owned an automobile. For
many, a car became a need, not simply an expensive toy. To deal with the
changes, lawmakers had to pass new traffic laws and rebuild roads.
9. Buses (1945)
World War Two ended in 1945. Soldiers came home and started families.
Businesses started to move out to the edges of cities where suburbs were
developing. Most families in these growing communities had cars, bicycles or
motorcycles to get around. Buses also became popular
10. 1st Bullet Train
Bullet train transportation is invented by the British and then sold to Japan.

Animal Transportation
1) Horses (600 - 100 years ago)
 There’s a reason horses were rare in the Roman Empire. They simply weren’t
as efficient as mules or oxen for any tasks besides specialty transportation. Horses
have digestive systems that are much smaller and less efficient than their bovine
rivals.
2) Oxen and other Bovines (600 - 100 years ago)
An oxen-drawn cart is the slowest overland transportation method – often
even slower than walking. However, oxen were the animal of choice for pulling
covered wagons in the American Old West, since they were superior to horses and
(to a lesser extent) mules for endurance travel.
3) Donkey and Mules (50 - 100 years ago)
Mules are stubborn and slow – but famously strong and steady, and generally
more intelligent and mild-mannered than horses. They represent a decent halfway
point between horses and oxen on the speed / strength efficiency axis.
4) Camels (5,000 BC)
Though adapted to deserts, camels are by no means limited to them. Plus,
they can travel about as fast as horses over long distances, if both animals have
moderate loads and aren’t being refreshed or being switched out. Despite their
size,* they require only as much food as a large horse.* 
5) Llamas and Alpacas (2500 years ago)
Llamas and alpacas were not large enough to effectively carry fully grown
humans through difficult mountain terrain, but llamas did prove to be excellent pack
animals, and were bred selectively for this purpose.* 
6) Elephants ( 2000 years ago)
They have good stamina, and a single rider doesn’t slow down an elephant all
that much; it can still run* at about 14 mph and walk at 4-5.*  A key feature
for nobility and generals was the high vantage point an elephant offered; from the
back of your mighty elephant, you could lord over your subjects or survey your
battle, all while staying comfortably out of the fray.

Air/ Wind Transportation

1. First air balloon (Year 1783)
The Montgolfier brothers launched their first hot air balloon.

2. First airship (Year 1852)

The first airship, fitted with a steam engine was flown by Henri
Giffard from Paris. The airship could only fly forward.

3. First Sea Plane (Year 1926)

The first sea plane, having one or two floats in place of the usual
under carriage, this plane took off from, and landed on, water.

4. First practical helicopter (Year 1940)

The first practical helicopter which could carry passengers, was
developed. Before this, a helicopter that could get off the ground and move
in all directions, was invented by Russian-American Igor Sikorsky. His design
 used a large rotor on top for lift, and a tail rotor to keep the craft steady, flew
in 1939. 

5. First flying boat (Year 1947)

This flying boat, 'Spruce Goose' was built of wood. It only flew once,
over a distance of about 2 kilometres. It is the largest plane ever built.

6. First jet engine (Year 1950s)

Early jet liners carried about 40 passengers, and had jet engines with
propellers called turbo-prop engines. The first jet engine was invented by
British engineer, Frank Whittle in 1930

7. Turbo jets (Year 1952)

Jet passenger planes had turbo-jets and no longer needed propellers.

8. First re-usable space vehicle (Year 1981)

The first re-usable space vehicle, the space shuttle 'Colombia' was
launched.

9. The largest passenger seat aircraft (so far!) (Year 2005)

The first re-usable space vehicle, the space shuttle 'Colombia' was
launched.

10. Lighter and more energy efficient aeroplane. (Year 2013)

The 787 Dreamliner a long-range, mid-size wide-body, twin-engine jet

airliner came into service. It is can carry up to 250 passengers. It is a lighter
and more energy efficient aeroplane.

Fluvial/ Sea Transportation

1) Early Rowed Vessel (Year 4000 BC)
 Mostly used by the Egyptian on Nile River
2) Phoenician Ship (Year 1700-1400 BC)
Used by the Phoenician to trade along Mediterranean Sea
3) Trireme (Year 700 - 400 BC)

Used by the Portuguese and Castilians for Oceanic exploration voyages
8) Carrack (Year 1200 - 1500 AD “Late Middle Ages”)
Used for European trade from Mediterranean to the Baltic and quickly found
use in tran Atlantic trade between Europe, Africa, and America

Human Transportation
1. Palanquin in Indian subcontinent (Year 1881)
A palanquin is a covered litter, usually for one passenger. It is carried by an
even number of bearers (between two and eight, but most commonly four) on their
shoulders, by means of a pole projecting fore and aft.
2. China wooden or bamboo civil litter (Year 1870)
In Han China the elite travelled in light bamboo seats supported on a carrier's
back like a backpack. In the Northern Wei Dynasty and the Northern and
Southern Song Dynasty, wooden carriages on poles appear in painted landscape
scrolls.
3. Korean gama ( Year 1890)
In Korea, royalty and aristocrats were carried in wooden litters
called gama (가마). Gamas were primarily used by royalty and government officials.
There were six types of gama, each assigned to different government official
rankings. 
4. Japans’ kago (19th century)
Kago were often used in Japan to transport the non-samurai
citizen. Norimono were used by the warrior class and nobility, most famously during
the Tokugawa period when regional samurai were required to spend a part of the
year in Edo (Tokyo) with their families, resulting in yearly migrations of the rich and
powerful to and from the capital along the central backbone road of Japan.
5. Thailands’ wo (19th century)
In Thailand, the royalty were also carried in wooden litters called wo ("พระ
วอ" Phra Wo, literally, "Royal Sedan") for large ceremonies. Wos were elaborately
decorated litters that were delicately carved and colored by gold leaf. Stained glass is
also used to decorate the litters.
6. Indonesias’ joli (Year 1940s)
In traditional Javanese society, the generic palanquin or joli was a wicker
chair with a canopy, attached to two poles, and borne on men's shoulders, and was
available for hire to any paying customer.
7. Sedan chair in Portoguese and Spanish (17th century) -
All the European names for these devices ultimately derive from the
root sed-, as in Latin sedere, "to sit", which gave rise to seda ("seat") and its
diminutive sedula ("little seat"), the latter of which was contracted to sella, the
traditional Classical Latin name for a chair, including a carried chair.
horBy the mid-17th century, sedans for hire had become a common mode of
transportation. London had "chairs" available for hire in 1634, each assigned a
number and the chairmen licensed because the operation was a monopoly of a
courtier of King Charles I.
