What are the main modes of transportation?

There are five main types: including railways, highways, water transport, aviation and pipelines.

Railway: Railway transportation is less affected by climate and natural conditions, with large transportation capacity and large single vehicle loading capacity, which has advantages in transportation continuity and low cost. In addition, there are many kinds of means of transport, so that it can carry almost any commodity, almost without the restrictions of weight and volume, which is incomparable by road and air transportation.

Highway: The most popular mode of land transportation is a powerful supplement to railway transportation. At present, the road transport tool is the car.

Waterway: large transportation capacity. Among the five modes of transportation, the water transport capacity is the largest, and the capacity is almost unlimited in the waterway with good transport conditions. Affected by the climate, land and water transportation generally performs well, which can transport both passengers and goods, especially large goods.

Aviation: Fast running and good mobility. It can fly over almost all kinds of natural obstacles and reach places that are difficult to reach by other modes of transportation. Suitable for transporting goods with long distance, expensive, urgent, small quantity and tight time.

Pipeline: it has the advantages of large transportation capacity, small transportation engineering quantity, low energy consumption, safety and reliability, no pollution and low cost; Not affected by climate, it can be transported all day, and the delivery of goods is highly reliable. The pipeline can take shortcuts and the transportation distance is short; Closed transportation can be realized with little loss.
