Transportation problem (TP) has its uses in real life because it has versatile applications. Real-life problems are often uncertain due to which it is difficult to find the accurate cost. The fuzzy set and intuitionistic fuzzy set are useful for handling the uncertainty, but these also have some limitations. For that reason, in this study, we worked on another set of values called bipolar single-valued neutrosophic set (BSNS) which is the generalization of crisp sets, fuzzy sets, and intuitionistic fuzzy sets to handle the uncertain, unpredictable, and insufficient information in real-life problems. In this study, we develop a new technique for solving transportation problems based on bipolar single-valued neutrosophic sets having nonnegative triangular bipolar single-valued neutrosophic numbers (TBSNNs). A score function is used to transform bipolar single-valued neutrosophic numbers (BSNNs) into crisp numbers. We compare our proposed model with fuzzy transportation and intuitionistic fuzzy transportation models and proved that bipolar single-valued neutrosophic transportation model is more admirable than the existing models. Furthermore, we apply the proposed technique to fully solve the bipolar single-valued neutrosophic transportation (FBSNT) model.
