5. Rail Roads
Rail transport or train transport is a means of transferring passengers and goods
on wheeled vehicles running on rails, which are located on tracks. In contrast to road

guided by the tracks on which they run.

10. River Navigation


Navigation of rivers to transport people and goods precedes historical record.
However, within the last few centuries, navigation structures have significantly
augmented the ability of industry to transport goods to and from inland ports. In many
cases, improvements in river navigation have provided an economical method of
transporting large quantities of grain, petroleum, coal, metals and ores, fertilizers and
chemicals, forest products, and other cargo, but the improvements have not come without
a cost. Navigation structures have been necessary to increase river depths, eliminate
meandering, and reduce water velocities in existing rivers. These structures are often
expensive in monetary, societal and environmental costs.

12. Mass Transit


mass transportation, or public transportation, the movement of people
within urban areas using group travel technologies such as buses and trains. The essential
feature of mass transportation is that many people are carried in the same vehicle (e.g.,
buses) or collection of attached vehicles (trains). This makes it possible to move people
in the same travel corridor with greater efficiency, which can lead to lower costs to carry
each person or—because the costs are shared by many people—the opportunity to spend
more money to provide better service, or both.

13. Airport Runways


is an aerodrome with extended facilities, mostly for commercial air transport.

off or a helipad, and often includes adjacent utility buildings such as control
towers, hangars and terminals.
