Transport system really helps the industry. Without transportation, the products made by the industry cannot be sold in distant places. The industry has a particular transport system to send their products to places and sell them for profit. Without proper transport system, there is risk of damage of products.
The invention of steam engine boosted the shipping industry. It also reduced the cost of transportation to one third of the cost of road transport. Yet people looked for better means of transportation. The next big thing in the context of transport was adaptation of steam engine to locomotives.George Stephenson’s locomotive pulled heavy loads along a 64 kilometre track from Liverpool to Manchester at a speed of 46 kilometers per hour.In 1840s, John Loudon McAdam devised a method of laying the road using broken stones. This created a hard surface, which was an important advancement in the construction of roads. Within another decade, bitumen-based binding, which we see in our areas as tar(mac) roads,werebuilt. This was further followed by the use of motor cars. In the early 20th Century, an aircraft was developed by Wright Brothers and today, air transport is the fastest means of transport.
