Question

State two advantages of Road Transport over Air Transport.

Answer 1

1. Door-to-door service: Road transport provides complete service by loading the goods at the consignor's door and unloading them at the consignee's place. There is no need to wait for a full-load shipment.
2. Feeder Service: Motor vehicles carry goods to terminal points such as railway stations, ports and airports. They are also used for carrying goods to outlying villages that are not served by railways or heavy vehicles.
