Prevoz

Prevoz is a term used in several South Slavic languages to denote transport or the act of moving people or goods from one place to another. It encompasses both passenger transport and freight transport, and may refer to the service delivered (such as a bus ride) or the infrastructure enabling movement (such as roads and ports).

Modes of prevoz include road transport (cars, buses, trucks), rail transport (trains), waterborne transport (ships, boats), air transport (airplanes), and pipeline transport (gas, oil). Intermodal and multimodal transport combine modes to optimize efficiency.

Regulation and safety: Prevoz services are typically governed by national and international rules covering licensing, vehicle standards, driver qualifications, traffic safety, and environmental requirements. Infrastructure and services often rely on public funding, subsidies, and private investment.

Economic and social aspects: Prevoz is fundamental to commerce, commuting, and tourism. It is affected by urban planning, fuel prices, technology such as digital ticketing, real-time tracking, and autonomous vehicles; environmental concerns drive shifts toward electric vehicles and sustainable mobility.
