How did improvements in transportation benefit businesses and consumers?

Please answer ASAP

it got materials and/or finished products places faster, so perishable goods could be transported now. Other ways of delivery were now available, roads, boats, and now even planes. This benefits businesses because its now cheaper to ship, and it gets there faster. This benefits consumers because they can get what they need faster, and cheaper.

b. they tried to evict the squatters from the area.

so sorry if wrong
