This musical piece is called Transportation. Its by Billy Currie.

"William Lee Currie (born 1 April 1950[1]) is a British multi-instrumentalist and songwriter from Huddersfield, England.
He is best known as the keyboard and strings player with new wave band Ultravox, who achieved their greatest commercial success in the 1980s."
