==Transport==
===Rail transport===
{{Main|Timișoara West railway station}}
Rail transport is over a century old in Freidorf. Timișoara–Modoș railway line was inaugurated on 31 July 1897. At that time, it was very important because it connected Timișoara and [[Zrenjanin]], the largest city in Serbian Banat. The first station that Freidorf had (the one put into use in 1897, in the same year as the railway), and which still exists today, is located 340 m southwest of the [[Timișoara North railway station|new station]] and was built during the 1970s. Currently, the railway that passes through Freidorf is the Timișoara–Cruceni railway (CFR Line 926).

Over time, the station has had several names, depending on the political-historical context. Thus, at the time of the inauguration of the line, the station was called ''Szabadfalu'' (this being the official name of the locality at that time). In the interwar period, the station in Freidorf was called ''Sâmbăta Station'', as appears in the Romanian Railways Maps of 1921 and 1938. After [[World War II]], it was known as ''Freidorf''; this name was later changed to the current form – ''Timișoara West''.

===Shipping===
The first record of the [[Bega Canal]] section at Freidorf dates back to 1796. The condition of the canal is described by the pontoon corporal, Franz Ulrichsberger, in a report of 20 October 1796, written in Timișoara following an inspection carried out by order of the Banat General Military Command: "''From Temeswar to Freidorf you can navigate the canal with full load. From Freidorf to Deutschsanktmichael, the fully loaded vessels cannot pass, only if they will be partially unloaded, the cause of the slightly lower water level being that in several places the canal has up to 86 embankments.''"

Naval transport, although currently very poorly developed, is still practiced on the [[Bega Canal]]. In the past, heavy beet barges came to the canal for the Banat Sugar Factory. The peasants were also brought from the villages on the [[Bega (Tisza)|Bega]] by various ships to trade the fruits and vegetables in Timișoara. Currently, the works that were started at the Bega Canal, aim to reopen the navigation.

===Road transport===

The car transport is very developed, Freidorf being crossed by the county road 526 that connects the Timișoara with Utvin and Sânmihaiu Român, then continuing to the border with [[Serbia]].

In the past, public transport was provided by tram line 3, which was dismantled in November 2009. Today, Freidorf has the E7 and E7b bus lines.
