The modes of Transportation

What do we mean by modes of transportation?

The modes of transportation simply refers to the form of transportations. Basically, we are aware of four types of transportations, which are land transports (truck), railways transport (trains), sea transports (ships) and air transports ( airplanes).

Many of us are not aware of the existence if a fifth mode of transportation. This is because we don't actually see this kind of mode in our daily life.  This mode is known as the the pipeline. A pipeline is typically used in the petroleum sector to transport oil and gas products. Other uses includes sewage, water, and beer, among others. 

Hence, The FIVE MODES OF TRANSPORTATION are:

  1. Land transportations
  2. Railways transportations
  3. Sea transportations
  4. Air transportations
  5. Pipeline transportations
