Air freight carries smaller types of items, such as mail, perishable items, produce, flowers. It can carry people, clothing, metal products, etc.. One major disadvantage is how expensive airfreight transportation can be. It can also be risky because one minor malfunction can result in significant losses. On the other hand air transportation is one of the fastest modes of transportation and it has no barriers, so it can take the most direct route to its destination. It is considered to best mode for transporting …show more content…
It is the most reliable mode of transportation because it does not use operators which eliminates the human error aspect. However, it is the slowest mode of transportation and it is not flexible about the types of products it can transport. It transports gaseous products, or liquid types of products.
4.Railroads are materials carried on freight trains. The railways are less flexible than air but also less costly. It can also move much larger volumes than air, but not as large as pipelines and water. These are just a couples of examples why railways are neither the best mode or the worst mode of transportation. Railroads carry things like coal, chemicals, machinery, and even people.
5.Water uses freighters on the Great Lakes and barges on inland waterways. The water mode focuses on bulk cargo. It can carry just about anything you can think of. One advantage is that it can a bulk amount of goods, but it is very slow, and it can be unreliable due to
