Transportation is the main realm to survive the office life as not everyone can add a car on their own rather a bike or any other means of transportation is not that fast compared to that of the railways neither have that less cost for traveling. Just like food and clothes, traveling expenses are big enough to mention or take care of. That is one big reason for people searching for jobs that provide traveling allowance and taking good care of their employees.

What are the modes of transportation available in the world?

  • By Air

An airplane is one of the fastest modes of transport for reaching any place in the given country and outside the country within no time. It is one easy way of transportation that doesn’t require too much waiting, and one reaches their destination before time or exactly on time.

  • By Water

Some people prefer traveling over the sea as the view is next to amazing and also the cruise ship gives a lot of benefits, but it takes its own time to reach. Those who prefer fun and nature over time they can prefer this mode of transportation.

  • By Railway

This is one common mode of transportation and applies to all as this is affordable and quick compared to ship or car. The benefit of this model is that trains are available in every city, every state, town, etc. the only mode of transport which one will find in every place and the recent scenario even the metropolitan cities introduced metro facilities which are fast and easy to get in too without waiting for a taxi or standing in a queue for a rickshaw.

  • By Road

There are many availabilities by road, like bus, car, rickshaw, etc. but all these takes enough time to reach a given destination because of the traffic jam that happens to be there. And above all, it is hard to find, but people who prefer roadside views and enjoy traveling and doing road trips may enjoy this as well no matter how long it takes.

Why one prefers the railway over the air?

One major issue of choosing railways over the air is the economic status. Not everyone is from a well-off family or doesn’t earn enough to spend that much in one go; rather, they prefer that mode of transportation which is far cheap and covers equal distance in the absolute time. Another reason for choosing the railway over the air is because of the safety issues; over the years, it has been noted that plane crashes became a fearful thing to people compare to that train is much safer and secure. Thus fear plays a big role in choosing anything, especially when it comes to safety and family security.

What new technologies have been implemented by the railways?

Major rail safety technology installed before the deadline where Railways are trying their level best to match people’s expectations all over the world. And they are making it possible that it becomes one of the fastest modes of transport with minimum cost so that everyone can save time and at the same time reaches their destination safely and quickly. And for this purpose, railways have implemented automatic braking systems over 58000 miles of track, which is great, and some are still under construction. It may be possible that after 4-5 years, a person will be able to travel from country to country over train and don’t have to spend enough on the plane.
