Transport

People of earlier times prepared bullock cart and went on a long, slow journey on bad, rough roads. Bullock carts were common means of transport. Now we only have to buy a ticket for road, railway or air journey and are taken to our destination in hours instead of days. Modern transport is time saving and helps to promote both social and national unity by keeping people in contact with each other. Transport is a mode of conveyance. It carries people or material from one place to another. People use transport for trade, business or when going on a tour. They visit their relatives, friends and offices. Transport has made the life of man mobile, fast and efficient. Nobody can deny the importance of it. The travel from one place to another is not a problem in the modern age. A man can go miles away in the morning and after doing the job in the day can come back home in the evening. In the past people mostly walked to other places, they used to ride on animals. Sometimes they even used carts and carriages driven by bullocks and horses. It was a slow speed transport and was used only at time of absolute necssity. With the invention of internal combustion engine, transport was revolutionized. It became fast and easily available. To sum up our discussion, we can say transport is now considered important for the economic life of a country. Hundreds and thousands of people travel daily from one place to another to boost up their economic activity and enhance their income or to get education. They can also visit the far off healthy resorts. It provides aid and relief goods to the calamity stricken people in a short time. So transport is a companion of good and bad time.Your regards, Abdul Samad
