Answer 1

The easiest way: array_pop() which will pop an element of the end of the array.

As for the 2nd question:

if (end($transport) == "") { 
    array_pop($transport); 
}

Should handle the second.

EDIT:

Modified the code to conform to the updated information. This should work with associative or indexed based arrays.

Fixed the array_pop, given Scott's comment. Thanks for catching that!

Fixed the fatal error, I guess empty cannot be used with end like I had it. The above code will no longer catch null / false if that is needed you can assign a variable from the end function and test that like so:

$end_item = end($transport);
if (empty($end_item)) { 
    array_pop($transport); 
}

Sorry for posting incorrect code. The above I tested.

Answer 2

if(empty($transport[count($transport)-1]) {
    unset($transport[count($transport)-1])
}

Answer 3

for # 1,

$transport=array_slice($transport,0,count($transport)-1)
