Actually, <lup> is *NOT* used for the "transporter" in Star Trek. For that,
we have the verbs <jol> - "beam (aboard)" and <Qol> - "beam away", as well
as the nouns <jol> - "transport beam", <jolpa'> - "transporter room",
<jolpat> - "transporter system" and <jolvoy'> - "transporter ionizer unit".
The verb <lup> - "transport" is related to the nouns <lupwI'> - "jitney,
bus" and <lupDujHom> - "shuttlecraft", so transportation in a vehicle
certainly fits in with <lup>.
