We present a study of exclusion processes on complex networks, as a paradigmatic model for transport subject to excluded volume interactions. Building on the phenomenology of a single segment and borrowing ideas from random networks we investigate the effect of connectivity on transport. In particular, we argue that the presence of disorder in the network crucially modifies the large scale transport features: disorder induces strong density heterogeneities in the network such that certain regions of the network are almost fully congested while other regions allow for free flow of matter.
