Five Modes of Transportation

Assalamualaikum :D !! For this tasks, we make a decision to write a post about five modes of transportation. As we know, with transportation, we can move people and goods from one point to another point or in other words, we can move from one place to another place whether in the short or long distance. understand? if you still can't understand.now we will explain more detail about transportation. look down and you will see the first type of transportation.

AIR TRANSPORTATION 




As you can see above, this is the example of air transportation. But, this type of air transportation just for moving people. Air transportation is the most expensive transportation compare than road or rail transportation. But, we must remember. Even air transportation is expensive, it is more faster than other type of transportation. That's why people still use this type of transportation. Another benefit that we can get from this expensive transportation is, we can go to another country that only can reach using air transportation. You still can use ship but it will take a very long time to arrive at the location.


okay now we will move another type of air transportation. If before this we tell about air transportation that only transport people but now we will tell you about the air transportation that only transport goods. Look at the picture above, the most famous air cargo in Malaysia. This type of air transportation transport many types of things such as animal, perishable goods and anything as long it is not people.


SEA TRANSPORTATION


Big right ? haha. This is a ship that used to shipped the container around the world. This ship can go through a very long journey. Sea transportation is more cheap than air transportation because it take a very long time if we want to compare with air transportation. There are many types of ship, for example is roll on roll off, tanker, refrigerated and bulk carriage. every ship have their own specialization. For example is refrigerated was used to transport a perishable goods that need a very high temperature control. Tanker was used to transport a liquid and the ship that you can see above was used to transport a containers.


Now we will explain about another type of ship. This ship have a very different function then the ship that you already read just now. This ship is used to transport people and that's why the design of this ship is more beautiful than bulk carriage, tanker, and refrigerated. This type of ship is complete with the people needed, for example is restaurant, toilet, bedroom, and many things that will make the people feel like live at the city that get surrounded by sea.

ROAD TRANSPORTATION


Can you recognise what type of transportation that we will explain now ? Of course you know because you already read the title and see the blue trucks. As we know, road transportation is the most common transportation that used by people. This type of transportation is more flexible than other types of transportation because it can give a door to door service. But this type of transportation also have a limit, it can't go through the sea like a ship and air plane. Road transportation able to transport many types of goods such as perishable goods, normal goods include animal.


RAIL TRANSPORTATION


For the second last is rail transportation, rail transportation have to types, to transport people and to transport cargo. But now we would like to tell about rail transportation that transport people. KTM, Keretapi Tanah Melayu. Rail transportation is a little bit expensive than bus but it is more faster than bus because this type of transportation does not involve in traffic jam and any other road problem. Train that used for long journey is very comfortable because the train is complete with restaurant and bed so the passengers can arrive at the location with more fast and more comfortable.


Little bit ugly right? Same with the ship that transport cargo and the ship that transport people. haha. This type of rail transportation can transport many types of goods, same with the road transport but rail transportation can transport more cargo than road transportation.

PIPELINE


For the last is pipeline, this type of transportation is not famous if want to compare than road,sea,rail, and air transportation. Pipline was used to transport a liquid. Pipiline need a very high investment to build it but very low maintenance cost.

DRIVE LESS, SAVE MORE





 Nowadays, there are many types of transportation that we can use to move to another places and do our daily activities. But, if we increasingly the used of transportation it will give a bad effect for our world. So, for this post, we will give you some knowledge about this campaign. The government has done a great responsibility with a campaign drive less save more. Drive less save more is a good way effected by the people indirectly can reduce environmental pollution, especially air pollution. So, there are many ways that can be done by us to implement this campaign.

One of the ways to implement this campaign is we can use public transportation when we want to go to the office, class and others. If we drive by own, there are many types of cost that we need to pay. As example, we need to pay the cost of fuel, toll and maintenance. When we use public transport, we no need to withdraw our money for the cost of maintenance and service repair if anything happen. Indirectly, it will reduce our cost of transportation. Furthermore, to less the traffic congestion, public should use the public transportation.





Next, if we don't want to use public transportation, we also can use another way to implement this campaign which we can implement car pool in our daily life. Car pool is the sharing of car journeys so that more than one person travels in a car. It is very suitable and a good way for us especially for worker. If we want to go to the same places, we can share the car at once decrease our cost. This is because, when we use our car pool we can carpooling reduces each person's travel costs such as fuel cost, toll and the stress of driving. Carpooling is seen as a more environmentally friendly and sustainable way to travel as sharing journeys reduces air pollution, traffic congestion on the roads, and the need for parking spaces. 



This campaign also can decrease traffic jam. Traffic jam is a condition on road networks that occurs as use increases, and is characterized by slower speeds, longer trip times, and increased vehicular queue. The most common example is the physical use of roads by vehicles.When we share transport together, road can be free from many of transport and we comfortable to use the road without feeling stress. Other than that, the way we can reduce traffic jam is people can reduce their travel from home to work, education or shopping. People can use another alternative to go shopping such as just shopping on-line at home. Furthermore, today fuel prices are going up day by day. Reducing the use of auto mobile is a good way of saving money. 

For the conclusion, as a Malaysian we should join this campaign for comfortable. The benefit will we get from this campaign is when we share car together or use public transportation, we can saving money and we can save the environment. We also can reducing single-person car trips, avoid from traffic jam and others.
