Question:

Options:

Provides door to door services

Cover long distances

Can carry lot of weight

Takes less time to reach long distances

Correct Answer:

Provides door to door services

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (1) → Provides door to door services

Road transport is preferred over railways primarily because it provides door-to-door services (Option 1).

  • Railways are typically limited to specific rail routes and railway stations, and the transportation of goods or passengers often requires additional land-based transportation, such as trucks or other vehicles, to reach the final destinations.
  • Road transport, on the other hand, can directly reach destinations, offering greater flexibility and convenience, especially for shorter distances and areas with limited railway infrastructure.
