Land transportation is the oldest means used by humans to transport various goods. This method has evolved over the centuries to what we see today in the use of trucks of various types in transportation operations. Truck transportation is considered the best type of transportation in various countries of the world. If money is the lifeblood of the economy, then transportation in its various forms and means, such as water transportation (maritime and riverine), air transportation, and land transportation (rail and truck), is considered the lifeblood of the economy at all times. It is considered a necessity for development and a support for foreign trade and tourism activities. It is a link between different countries of the world. Several laws have been enacted and many international agreements have been concluded to regulate the work of these means. Therefore, land transportation is of great importance in Iraq in general and Basra in particular, due to its distinguished geographical location, as well as the low cost of land transportation compared to other means of transportation. The research was divided into three sections. The first section dealt with land roads, railways, the Public Transport Authority, and the bus project. The second section dealt with river transport, and the third section dealt with air traffic.
