From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This page links to several topics related to transport in Europe. Transport in Europe is the most advanced in the world. It caters to over half a billion people. The continent is home to some of the world's largest airlines, the largest ports and the fastest trains on the planet. Rotterdam Europort is the busiest port in the world; the value of the goods passing in and out of the port every day is worth more than the budget of most countries.

Operated in France and Switzerland, it can bring people all over the country, from the Alps to the Côte d'Azur.
