Between the Revolutionary period and the World War I, the United States post office was set out
to improve transportation of the post office mails. From those early days to the present, the post office
has helped develop and subsidize every new mode transportation in the United States. Transportation

has been the most important element in mail delivery. Even when the general public had still suspected
of the security of a new means of transportation, the post office experimented with inventions that
offered potential for moving the mail faster, occasionally suffering embarrassment, ridicule, or even
abuse in the process.
As mail delivery evolved from foot to horseback, stagecoach, steamboat, railroad, automobile, and
airplane, with intermediate and overlapping use of balloons, and helicopters, post office mail contracts
ensured the income necessary to build the great highways, rail lines, and airways that eventually
spanned the continent.
By the turn of the 19th century, the U.S. Post Office had purchased a number of stagecoaches for
operation on the nation’s better post roads – a post road being any road on which the mail travels – and
continued to encourage new designs to improve passenger comfort and carry mail safely.

A. transportation of the Post Office in the US
B. the Post Office in the Revolutionary period

A. to develop transportation
B. to apply new mean of transportation

D. to subsidize every new mode of transportation

A. train
