1. In India, roadways have an edge over railways. Why? |
|
Answer» Construction cost of roadways is much lower than that of railways.. Roads can traverse comparatively more dissecting and undulating plains.. Roads can negotiate higher gradients of slopes and can traverse mountains like Himalayas.. Road transport is economical in transportation of few persons and small amount of goods over short distances.. It also provides door to door services.. Cost of loading and unloading is much lower.. Road transport is also used as a feeder to other modes of transport such as they provide link between railway station, airports and sea ports. |
