उत्तर
Roadways have an edge over the railways in view of the ease with which they can be built and maintained.
The growing importance of road transport vis-à-vis rail transport is rooted in the following reasons :
- The construction cost of roads is much lower than that of railway lines.
-
Roads can traverse comparatively more dissected and undulating topography.
- Roads can negotiate higher gradients of slopes and as such can traverse mountains such as the Himalayas.
-
Road transport is economical in the transportation of a few persons and a relatively smaller amount of goods over short distances.
- It also provides door-to-door service, thus the 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 a link between railway stations, air, and seaports.
