Railway transport has several advantages over other
means of passenger/goods transportation, including safety, speed, capacity,
comfort, environmental protection, traffic jam reduction, and economic
feasibility.
Why safety? It’s because Railway accident averages and
related injuries and deaths are much lower than those of other means of
transportation such as motor vehicles. About speed the average time needed to
transport people or materials from one point to another by railway has become
quite competitive with other means of transportation, and is being continuously
improved by increasing train speeds, reducing the length of their routes.
The capacity is also one of the advantages its mean
that trains are capable of carrying larger number of passengers and greater
volumes of goods that other means of transportation cannot handle. For the
comfort is trains offer passengers more comfort and freedom of movement inside
the trains’ cars.
Furthermore the main point is environmental protection
to train are considered one of the most energy-efficient means of
transportation. To transport one passenger one kilometre, a car needs twice to
five times the energy consumed by a train. This average increases from four to
eight times in the case of an aircraft.
For the traffic jam Utilizing trains to convey such big numbers of passengers and high volumes of goods means less cars and trucks on the roads, i.e., less accidents, less pollution and less time wasted. Based on the above benefits, railway transportation reduces the cost of transporting passengers and materials as well as road maintenance costs.
