Types of Land (ON-ROAD) Transportation carrying tourists

TAXI
Definition
A taxi is a type of rental vehicle driven by a driver to transport one or a small number of
passengers to a destination of their choice as opposed to other public transport where the
location of fluctuations is set by the service operator, not the passengers. The term comes
from the term taxicab or cab taximeter invented by Harry N. Allen, who imported the first taxi
car to New York City from France.
(Component of mode of transportation)

ways to get a taxi can be divided into two ways. Either by getting a taxi at the taxi
stand or by raising your hand to stop the taxi on the street. Usually the taxi stand is
located in a circle in front of the train station, department store, near the shopping
entrance, and so on.

(Ways of stating a destination)

The first thing you should do when taking a taxi is to specify the destination you want
to go to. Most taxi drivers cannot communicate in English. To avoid any
inconvenience, it is better if you have a guidebook or a location map with roman
script.

(What are the ways to pay for taxi fares?)

Pay the fare upon arrival at the destination. The amount to be paid is displayed on
the side of the driver's seat. For night travel, there will usually be an overnight
service charge. Although most taxis provide payment services in the form of credit
cards, but there are some taxis that do not provide such services.

B. (Limousines)

(Definition of Limousines)

A limousine or simply a limousine is a large luxury vehicle driven by a driver with a divider
between the driver's compartment and the passenger compartment. A very long wheelbase
luxury sedan (with more than four doors) driven by a professional driver is called a stretch
limousine. In some countries, such as the United States, Germany, Canada and Australia, a
limousine service may be any rental car that has been booked with a driver, usually but not
always a luxury car. In particular, the airport shuttle service is often called a limousine
service even though they often use minibuses.

(Component of mode of transportation)

The limousine body style usually has a partition separating the driver from the rear passenger
compartment This partition includes a usually openable glass section so passengers may see
the road. Communication with the driver is possible either by opening the window in the
partition or by using an intercom system. Limousines are often long-wheelbase vehicles, in
order to provide extra legroom in the passenger compartment. There will usually be
occasional seats (in the U.S. called jump seats) at the front of the compartment (either
forward-facing, rear-facing or able to face either direction). Many nations have official state
cars designed to transport government officials. The top leaders have dedicated and specially
equipped limousines. The United States Presidential State Car is the official car of the
President of the United States.

C. Express bus

(Definition of Express bus)

Buses are road vehicles designed to carry many passengers. The bus can have a capacity
as high as 300 passengers. The most common types of buses are single rigid buses, with
larger loads carried by double -decker buses and articulated buses, and smaller loads
carried by midibuses and minibuses coaches are used for long distance service. Bus
manufacturing is increasingly global, with similar designs appearing around the world. 2014
Bus can be used for bus transportation that includes, coach transportation that includes,
school transportation, private, tourism; promotional buses can be used for political
campaigns and others are operated privately for a variety of purposes.

(Component of express bus)

(services of express bus )

An express bus service is a bus service that is intended to run faster than normal bus
services between the same two commuter or destination points. Express buses operate on a
faster schedule by not making as many stops as normal bus services and often taking
quicker routes, such as along freeways, or by using dedicated lanes or roadways. Express
buses may also operate out of park and rides, in some cases only during rush hour in the
peak direction. Fares on express bus services may be higher than normal parallel services.
Many express buses act as precursors to bus rapid transit lines and employ a proof-of-
payment scheme, requiring passengers to purchase tickets before boarding the bus,
speeding up the service. The vehicles used may also feature amenities like comfortable
seating and wireless Internet service, particularly on routes that travel long distances at
higher speeds without stopping.

D. (Rental Car)
(Definition of Rental Car)

A car rental, hire car, or car hire agency is a company that rents automobiles for short
periods of time to the public, generally ranging from a few hours to a few weeks. It is often
organized with numerous local branches (which allow a user to return a vehicle to a different
location), and primarily located near airports or busy city areas and often complemented by a
website allowing online reservations.

(Component of Rental Car)

(services of Rental Car)

Car rental companies operate by purchasing or leasing a number of fleet vehicles and
renting them to their customers for a fee. Rental fleets can be structured in several ways –
they can be owned outright they can be leased, or they can be owned under a guaranteed
buy-back program arranged directly through a manufacturer or manufacturer's financial arm.

E. (Tourist Coach)

(Definition of Tourist Coach)

A coach (or motorcoach) is a bus used for longer-distance service, in contrast to transit
buses that are typically used within a single metropolitan region. Often used for touring,
intercity, and international bus service, coaches are also used for private charter for various
purposes. Coaches are also related and fall under a specific category / specific type of RV's.

(CONCLUSION LAND (ON-ROAD) TRANSPORTATION)

he assessment of the cumulative impacts of road construction and use is seldom adequate. Although
many laws, regulations, and policies require some consideration of ecological effects of
transportation activities, such as road construction, the legal structure leaves substantial gaps in the
requirements. Impacts on certain resources are typically authorized through permits. Permitting
programs usually consider only direct impacts of road construction and use on a protected resource,
even though indirect or cumulative effects can be substantial (for example, effects on food web
components). The incremental effects of many impacts over time could be significant to such
resources as wetlands or wildlife.

types of WATER TRANSPORTATION

Cruise

(Definition of Cruise)

A cruise ship is a luxury vessel that is used to take passengers on a pleasure voyage in a
journey that is as much a part of the experience as the various destinations on the way. In
contrast to an ocean liner that transports passengers from one point on the globe to the
other often across the oceans, a cruise ship or a cruise liner as it is known by most, takes
the people on board to a round trip that is of varied duration, from a single day to possibly a
week and culminates at the originating port. This is a very refreshing mode of enjoyment and
recreation, which relaxes the mind and replenishes energies to a great extent.
(Component of Tourist Cruise)

(services of Cruise)

The facilities onboard these cruise liners include great dining services. Some liners offer
open-air dining on the deck, whereas, there are others that have expensively designed
dining halls with mouth-watering recipes to leave a long-lasting impression on the
passengers. In addition to this, there are casinos, fitness centres, spas, cinemas, and some
ships even have a Broadway-like theatre. These cruise ships also boast swimming pools,
hot tubs, lounges, libraries, gyms and clubs. To put it in a nutshell, they pamper the
passengers with the best of hospitality and services that can be imagined with some of the
choicest natural views along the sea. Over the last decade, cruising has become an integral
part of the tourism industry contributing over $25 billion yearly to this booming sector. The
major bulk of the business as expected comes from the North American and European
regions but the other areas like the pan pacific are also catching up.

(Ferry)

(Definition of Ferry)

ferry, a place where passengers, freight, or vehicles are carried by boat across a river, lake,
arm of the sea, or other body of water. The term applies both to the place where the crossing
is made and to the boat used for the purpose. By extension of the original meaning, ferry
also denotes a short overwater flight by an airplane carrying passengers or freight or the
flying of planes from one point to another as a means of delivering them.

(Component of Ferry)
services of Ferry
In Hong Kong, Star Ferry carry passengers across Victoria Harbour. Other carriers ferry
travellers between Hong Kong Island and outlying islands like Cheung Chau, Lantau Island
and Lamma Island.

The Malaysian state of Penang is home to the oldest ferry service in the country. This
service, now renamed Rapid Ferry, connects the Raja Tun Uda Ferry Terminal at Weld
Quay in George Town on Penang Island with the Sultan Abdul Halim Ferry Terminal in
Butterworth on Peninsular Malaysia. It has also become a tourist attraction among
foreigners.

In the Philippines, the Philippine Nautical Highway System forms the backbone of the
nationwide transport system by integrating ports with highway systems. The system has
three main routes. Another known ferry service is the Pasig River Ferry Service, which is the
only water-based transportation in Metro Manila. This system cruises the Pasig River.

Boat

-Definition of Boat
A boat is a watercraft of a large range of types and sizes, but generally smaller than a ship,
which is distinguished by its larger size, shape, cargo or passenger capacity, or its ability to
carry boats. Small boats are typically found on inland waterways such as rivers and lakes, or
in protected coastal areas. However, some boats, such as the whaleboat, were intended for
use in an offshore environment. In modern naval terms, a boat is a vessel small enough to
be carried aboard a ship. Anomalous definitions exist, as lake freighters 1,000 feet (300 m)
long on the Great Lakes are called "boats". Boats vary in proportion and construction
methods with their intended purpose, available materials, or local traditions. Canoes have
been used since prehistoric times and remain in use throughout the world for transportation,
fishing, and sport. Fishing boats vary widely in style partly to match local conditions.
Pleasure craft used in recreational boating include ski boats, pontoon boats, and sailboats.
House boats may be used for vacationing or long-term residence. Lighters are used to
convey cargo to and from large ships unable to get close to shore. Lifeboats have rescue
and safety functions.

Component of Boat

Definition of Sailboat

A sailboat or sailing boat is a boat propelled partly or entirely by sails and is smaller than a

CONCLUSION LAND of WATER TRANSPORTATION

Tourism, freight, and resource industries such as forestry and mining sometimes compete
for highways, waterways, and airways. It’s important for governments to engage with
various stakeholders and attempt to juggle various economic priorities and for tourism to be
at the table during these discussions.
