TANSPORT
Transportation is used for the movement of people,
animals, and other things.
We cannot use the same means of transport to go to
all the places.
The kind of transport or the vehicle we use depends
on the distance and the money we can spend.
The use of means of transport depends on the mode
of transport.
The different modes of transport are roads,
railways, waterways and airways.
