The Multi-model transport system inSyria is considered of slow evolution systems as it is capital intensive in alldifferent means (land،marine،air،pipelines) and thus predominated by a high fixed cost economic feature،and this causes an obstacle to the development of multi-modeltransport،and therefore its inability to compete. But the hard work in improving thetransportation sector (by land،sea،air) and the different modes (train،truck،ship،aircraft) and following the necessarystrategies and logistics to help in developing it،made the transport sector in Syria contributes a significant proportion of GDP.
