Question:

Which of the following tells the actual distance of route length ?

Options:

Time distance

Km distance

Cost distance

All of the above

Correct Answer:

Km distance

Explanation:

The correct answer is option 2: Km distance

Transport distance can be measured as:

km distance or actual distance of route length;

time distance or the time taken to travel on a particular route; and

cost distance or the expense of travelling on a route.

In selecting the mode of transport, distance, in terms of time or cost, is the determining factor. Isochrone lines are drawn on a map to join places equal in terms of the time taken to reach them.
