Land Transport

        In cities and towns, cars, buses,

        scooters, motorcycles, autorickshaws and
        metro trains are the main means of land

        transport.


        In villages, bicycles, tongas and bullock-

        carts are the main means of land

        transport.                                                           Different means of transport

        Trains are the fastest means of land transport. Trains that

        carry passengers are called  passenger  trains. These are good
        and safe for travelling long distances. Things like salt, coal,

        foodgrains, oil and animals are transported by goods trains.


        In Kolkata, Mumbai, Delhi and Bengaluru, we have metro

        trains for local transport.
