mpany will provide transportation.
Transportation is a system for taking people or goods from one place to another, for example using buses or trains. (mainly AM; in BRIT, usually use transport)
Campuses are usually accessible by public transportation.
Oxfam may also help with the transportation of refugees.
总的来说，Collins词典给出的词条解释还不够清楚，但起码可以明白的是：
1.traffic与transportation语义重合部分
2.traffic有动词含义，贩毒、人口，走私的含义，而transportation不具备此意义。
3.traffic特指交通状态是“拥挤、流畅等” transportation指的所有交通工具构成的体系。
