Roadways:
Roadways are the most important means of transportation in India. India has one of the largest networks of roadways in the world, aggregating to about 2.3 million km at present. Road transport has preceded railways and still has an edge over it in view of the ease with which it can be built and maintained.
Road transport is more useful than railways on account of its following merits:
1. Construction and maintenance cost of roads is much lower than that of railways.
2. Roads can traverse comparatively more dissected and undulating topography. They can negotiate higher gradients of slopes and can traverse mountainous regions such as the Himalayas. They can reach remote villages and hilly regions where railway tracks cannot be constructed.
3. Roads provided door to door service, thus the cost of loading and unloading is much lower.
Railways:
Two merits of railways are:
1. They carry people over long distances quickly and cheaply.
2. They carry heavy goods in bulk.
Waterways:
1. It is the cheapest means of transport.
2. It is a fuel-efficient and eco-friendly mode of transport.
Airways:
1. It is the fastest and comfortable mode of transport.
2. It connects the far-flung and remote areas of the country.
3. The speed and ease with which aeroplanes can cross mountain barriers, sandy desserts, large expanses of water or forests make the air transport indispensable.
