Question

explain the whole history of transportation

Answer 1

The history of transport is largely one of technological innovation. Advances in technology have allowed people to travel farther, explore more territory, and expand their influence over larger and larger areas. Even in ancient times, new tools such as foot coverings, skis, and snowshoes lengthened the distances that could be travelled. As new inventions and discoveries were applied to transport problems, travel time decreased while the ability to move more and larger loads increased. Innovation continues as transport researchers are working to find new ways to reduce costs and increase transport efficiency.

Answer 2

Transportation was one of the most vital sources of travelling in the historical period. The most common source of river-transportation was boats whereas the most common source of land-transportation was bullock-carts. Even today, bullock carts are useful for carrying people. The other means of transportation in the historical period include elephants and horses. Elephants were usually used to carry heavy loads. The "palkis", were most commonly used by the rich people, had gained popularity in the nineteenth (19th) century Calcutta.
