INTRODUCTION
1.1 Overview
From the beginning of history, human sensitivity has revealed an urge for mobility leading
to a measure of Society's progress. The history of this mobility or transport is the history
of civilization. For any country to develop with right momentum modern and efficient
Transport as a basic infrastructure is a must. Transport (British English) or
transportation (American English) is the movement of people and goods from one place
to another. The term is derived from the Latin trans ("across") and portare ("to carry").
1.2 Means of Transport
Fig.1.1 Means of Transport
1.3. Advantage and Disadvantage Different Modes of Transport
(A) Road Transport
Advantages Disadvantages
1. Less Capital Outlay 1. Seasonal Nature
2. Door to Door Service 2. Accidents and Breakdowns
3. Service in Rural Areas 3. Unsuitable for Long Distance and Bulky
4. Flexible Service Traffic
5. Suitable for Short Distance 4. Slow Speed
6. Lesser Risk of Damage in Transit 5. Lack of Organisation
7. Saving in Packing Cost
8. Rapid Speed
9. Less Cost
