Which of the following transportation mode is most suited for large volumes of bulky materials over long distances within a country?

Rail Transportation

The correct answer is Option (3) → Rail Transportation

The significance of a mode depends on the type of goods and services to be transported, costs of transport and the mode available. International movement of goods is handled by ocean freighters. Road transport is cheaper and faster over short distances and for door-to door services. Railways are most suited for large volumes of bulky materials over long distances within a country. High-value, light and perishable goods are best moved by airways.
