The world is becoming even smaller than ever. For example, long time ago, it took a year to travel from Europe to Asia, but today, it can be done in a single day. Transportation technology is getting more and more unbelievable. It became more convenient to move around and as a result, it led us to the era of globalization. Transportation, in general, can be categorized into three modes: land, water, and air. Each mode has its own advantages.
First is land transportation, which is the oldest way of travel. Nowadays, there are two kinds of transportation: car and train. For about the car, the most important aspect is convenience. Car always is in front of home, and it can go wherever driver wants to go. Train, in contrast, is not that convenient, but it is faster than car. Since train is always on the railway so it rarely stuck in a traffic jam. Also, thanks to this characteristic, train is usually on time.
Second is water transportation by ship. As ship is moving through water, of course it cannot make high speed compared to other transportation modes. But talking about the luggage transportation, ship's load capacity is unmatched to others, and that's why that nowadays exports and imports are still highly relying on water transportation.
Last is air transportation. This mode was developed comparatively later, so it boasts a state-of-art and cutting-edge technology. As plane flies in the air, so it can make very high speed, and never be jammed. Air transportation is the main cause of globalization, which can take passengers anywhere in the Earth in just one day.
Contemporary transportations are completely depends on those three modes and these entire three make up for the other's weak points. Land transportation is suitable for daily life transportation, water transportation for freightage, and air transportation for traveling over countries and continents. Neither none of these is less important than others nor none should be excluded alone.

ReplyDeleteI read your article and I like your peice of writing is that ship's load capacity is unmatched to others. But I think that it needs more specific data about ship's load capacity.
Furthermore, first paragraph needs explation types of car. for example buses, taxies etc.
I like your hook because it keeps me wondering why it has become smaller and covers wide variety of transportation available nowadays.
ReplyDeleteYour mainpoint seems to be transportation system is categorized according to where it takes place: land, water, and air.
Since the transportation system is essential part of our lives, it would have been nice if you have included your personal experieence.
