The word spontaneous is used here to describe a trip that begins immediately, as opposed to a booked trip, where destination stations and other options need to be specified in advance. Spontaneous freight transport happens in a similar fashion than spontaneous person transport. However, freight transport can be completely atomized, including loading and unloading of cabins.
