Transportation in Panjabi culture is influenced by various factors such as geography, history, and social customs. For example, in rural areas, bicycles and motorcycles are often the preferred modes of transportation due to their affordability and ease of use. On the other hand, in urban areas, cars and public transportation systems like buses and trains are more prevalent. Additionally, Panjabi culture places a strong emphasis on hospitality, and it is common for people to offer rides or help fellow travelers with transportation arrangements.


Historically, Panjabi culture has been shaped by its location at the crossroads of major trade routes. This has contributed to a rich transportation heritage, with the region being a hub for both land and water transportation. The Grand Trunk Road, an ancient trade route that stretches across South Asia, passes through Panjab and has played a significant role in connecting the region with the rest of the subcontinent.
