Means of transport are the ways by which one sends stuff from point to the other.

Fortunately, there are

lots of means of transports available on earth due to which we can even transfer ourselves from one point
to the other.

If we talk about only the Indian country, India also is blessed with lots of means of transports due to
which low-grade people, as well as high grade, can travel to various points in the country.

What Are Means of Transport

Means of transport are the ways by which we can send stuff in our countries or even outside the countries.
If the means of transportation were not there, one couldn’t have sent stuff easily on earth. We, humans,
are fortunate that for our work purpose or leisure purpose, etc. there are several means of transportations
available.

Various Means of Transport

These are the various ways of transportations:

 Road transport – The roads of various countries and states are interconnected, and we can use
vehicles like motorcycles, cars, trucks, buses, etc. to move around by road transportations. Road
transportations have lots of advantages like it saves your time, money and carries a good amount
of stuff easily. However, the biggest disadvantage of road transport is that the maintenance cost
of road transportations is very much.
 Railway transport – Railway is another good way of transportation because it is quite cheap and
it can carry a lot of luggage and lots of passengers to various destinations easily.
 Water transport – A lot of cities, states, and countries get connected by water means, and we
can travel to those places by ships and cruises. The cost of traveling by ships and cruises is quite
high, and it takes a lot of time to reach a destination, but ships can carry a lot of loads as well.
 Air transport – Some of the countries do not connect with any of the above means, so one need
to send the stuff by air means and to send the stuff by air means that the stuff will reach before
time, but the only drawback will be the cost.

Importance of Means of Transport

Means of transportations are very important and here is how:

 By air, we can send luggage, and we can travel to various other countries with ease. A sole
disadvantage of air transportation is that it costs much than a lot of other transportations.
 There are some states and cities where one cannot travel by road or by air. So, one need ships and
cruises to send stuff to such places.
 When we want to reach our destination at a low cost and at a good time, we need road
transportations.
 Pipeline transport cuts the cost and sends petroleum and other oils by pipeline transportations
which is safer and most effective way of transportation in terms of oils and other petroleum.
 When people want a cost friendly way of transportation, then the best way of transportation is
carrying the stuff either on animal powered vehicles. Or even one can travel to his destination by
taking the stuff along with him which can reduce the cost very much.
 On mountains there aren’t several ways to get transported from one point to the other so, cable
wires are the perfect way to send any material to someone sitting at another part of the mountain,
All the modes of transportations have their importance, and everything belongs to us which way of
transportation we will use.

Some Other Ways of Transportation

 If we want oils and petroleums to get transferred to various places, we should use pipeline
transportation rather than any other kind of transportation.
 There are animal powered transportations as well in which horses, donkeys or other animals pull
various carts or luggage items.
 In mountain areas, people use cable transport to travel from one place to the other.
 In some areas, humans act like the mean of transportation because they take the stuff along with
them by walking and running around in the fields. They take a lot of time to reach destinations,
but it is the cheapest way of transportation.

Conclusion

All in all, the modes of transportations are a blessing for people to send some material from one place to
other at low prices and less time. There are a number of transportations available, and one should choose
according to his need. If someone wants to save time, he should send the material by air; If someone
wants to save the cost, one should send the material by road. And one can also use various other modes of
transportations according to his need.

Model Answer 1:
While some people choose to use public transportations, others prefer to use their own cars. It is believed
that the excessive usage of personal cars has caused congestion problems in big cities and therefore
people should use public transportations more often. However, public transportations have their own
positive and negative sides and the following essay will discuss them in details.

It is undeniable, that public transportations have some weaknesses. Some people still choose to use their
own private vehicles, though the government has encouraged them to use public transports. It is because
public transportations are not as safe as private cars and some criminal activities on public buses or trains
such as pocket thieves are still being reported. And then public transportations are not reliable in terms of
preciseness and accuracy. Many people have complained about the preciseness and the consistency of
these public transportations schedules, which impacted to their work or study time.

Despite its weakness points, public transportations bring a lot of benefits for individuals and societies.
Firstly, it is clear that the existence of public transportations will automatically reduce traffic problems.
Secondly, if the utilisation of public transportations increased, it means that there will be a reduction in
the consumption of fossil fuels. Consequently, it will reduce air pollution and global warming issues.
Therefore, the governments should encourage their residents to use public transportations.

In conclusion, people have different opinions about public transportations. Some people enjoy using
them, while others choose to use their own personal vehicles. Although public transportations have some
weaknesses, I do believe that the benefits outweighed the drawbacks. I also suggest that the government
should improve the public transportation services, therefore more and more people are attracted to use
public transportations.

Model Answer 2:
Transportation is playing an important role in every nation's development process and this is an important
aspect of our life for mobility. Some people believe that private car is the best mean of transportation
while others say that public transport service should be used for this purpose. However, as far as I am
concerned, I firmly agree that public transport service should be our main mean of transportation. The
advantages and demerits of using public transportation are discussed in this essay.

The very first advantage of using public transportation service is that it reduced the burning of fossil fuel.
We all know that fuels like petrol and diesel take million of years to make. Therefore if we do not
decrease the usage level of these fuels then in future it will be diminished. So to make sure that it will not
happen in future, we need to save these fuels as much as possible. The very first step towards it is the
usage of public transport service. Since a public transportation can carry a large number of passengers it
reduced the overall fuel consumption. Thus it helps to reduce the air and environmental pollutions.

Secondly, more pollution will be generated if we opt to use private cars for transportation. The more
personal cars on the road, the more pollution it will generate. So if we use bus or train for roaming then
we can fulfil our part to decrease the environmental pollutions. Further, transportation cost is cheaper in
the case of public transportation. Another aspect is the accident risk. In private cars, the probability of
accident on road has increased dramatically. Last but not least, public transportation increases your social
contacts. Your social life will scatter with the use of government transport service.

Every coin has two sides and that is true for the usage of public transportation as well. Firstly, public
buses or trains take more time to travel to some place. It does not take any shortcuts and also runs in
limited speed. On the other hand, with a private car, you can go to any place in a very short time.
Secondly, public transport service is limited. One has to make sure that he/she has the timetable of public
buses or trains. If one does not have timing record, then it generates some hurdles for the travellers. There
is little privacy on public transportation and you can’t relax in a crammed public bus or train.

All in all, I would conclude by saying that public transport service has more advantages than its
disadvantages. Further, I like to suggest that buses or trains should our main transportation types. Private
cars should be used for urgent needs only. Otherwise, public transportations should be used. It will save
our environment.

There are many different means of transport. Sometimes we can't imagine how people could live without
cars, buses, trains and planes many years ago. Some people prefer travelling by car, others think that it's
dangerous and polluts the environment. Whatever your views, there's no doubt that travelling by car has
both many advantages, and a lot of disadvantages.

To begin withthe speed, we can move quickly from one place to another. We don't have to waste our time
and wait for a bus. If we want to go to the hospital we do not need to go to the bus station and wait. It is
very important, because we can travel wherever and whenever we want.

Secondly, cars are always available and we can go by car everywhere. Sometimes in small villages bus
travels very rarely. People have to wait for a long time to go to the town. Availability is the second
advantage of travelling by car.

Moreover, we can also have touring holiday when and where we want. If we want to go for a trip, we
don't have to book bus tickets- it's too complicated. If we have a car, we need only a map or GPS system
and we can simply get into a car and go!

On the other hand, travelling by car is not very comfortable for a driver. He cannot relax, he has to be
careful all the time. Vehicles are forced to stay in traffic jams, it is also very uncomfortable. Passangers
can sleep or doing what thay want. When driver is very tired, he can be as dangerous on the road as drunk
driver.

Travelling by car is dangerous, too. There are many crashes on the roads and we should be very careful
and sensible. There are many people, who want to drive after alcohol, they cause a lot of accidents. In my
opinion they are irresponsible and immature and people who drink and drive should lose their driving
licence for life.

Using a car is also very expensive. If you have a car you have to pay much money for petrol and services.
Petrol prices are very high. In my opinion people should use gas more than petrol because gas is better for
the envierment. What is more, the gas is cheaper.

To sum up, if we have money and remember about politness, patience and responsable driving even when
we have problems with finding a parking space and we get nervous- we can enjoy driving for many years,
for sure.
