Transportation

Road and rail transportation are both important modes of international shipping. Road transportation is more flexible and faster, while rail transportation is more reliable and efficient for large volumes.

In India, road transport is significantly more dominant than rail transport, carrying the majority of passenger and freight traffic due to its flexibility in reaching smaller destinations, while rail transport is primarily used for long-distance heavy goods movement, particularly bulk commodities like minerals and grains; essentially, road transport is considered the primary mode for short-distance travel and smaller cargo, while rail transport is better for large volumes over long distances.
