A conjugate Chebyshev net on a two-dimensional surface in an affine (or Euclidean) space. A surface carrying a transport net is called a translation surface.
For transport nets one has Lie's theorem: If a surface carries two transport nets, then the tangents to the lines in these nets intersect on a non-singular plane curve of order four [1].
