purposes of trade and social activity can be classified into three main divisions, land, water
and sit
. We are here, concerned with transport for trade. or all the forms of transport,
road transport has shown the greatest growth in recent years. Rond transport is also used
as a complementary means of transport. Rond are indispensable links for carrying goods
and people to and from railway stations, ports and airports
Transport by road may be both vehicular and non-vehicular. Non-vehicular transportation
includes both animal and man. Animals such as horse, mules and yaks are frequently used
for carrying goods and passengers in hilly areas. Camel is the only means of transport in
desert areas. Man is also sometimes used to carry goods. In hilly areas, porters and coolies
carry goods on their backs and heads. This type of transport is generally used when
animals, carts or vehicles cannot be used. Vehicular transport in developing countries
includes the ancient bullock carts, as well as the modern automobiles. The invention of
the automobiles has been of great significance to modern industry and commerce because
of their high speed and low cost per kilometre. The introduction of the railways has been
vital in the growth of industrialization. Railways are useful in carrying heavy and bulky
goods over long distances. They are especially favoured because, unlike other modes of
transport, they are unaffected by weather conditions
Water transport is one of the oldest forms of cargo transport. Though it is slow, it is the
cheapest form of transport. Water transport includes inland transport and ocean transport
Inland waterways are rivers and canals. While rivers are naturally created, canals are
artificial waterways. Inland waterways are not always reliable. Sometimes rivers change
their course abruptly, which may cause dislocation of traffic. In times of drought they may
run dry. Ocean or sea transport is very important for the growth of foreign trade of any
country, especially as it is cheaper than air transport. It is particularly useful for carrying
bulky goods over long distances, especially when time is not the essential factor.
The greatest advantage of air transport is that it has reduced the time and distance barrier
to a great extent. However, air transport is the costliest means of transport because of the
high cost of planes, their operation and maintenance. It is generally used rather sparingly
