Man first traveled on foot and later tamed animals to carry him and his goods. He also learned to float rafts on rivers. The invention of the wheel improved land transportation, moving from hand carts to bullock carts and horse carriages. Today we have modern vehicles like cars, trucks, buses and trains for quick travel. We also have airplanes, so man now travels by land and air. Land transport includes roads and railways. Roads connect places and allow transport of goods anywhere, even remote villages. National highways connect important cities between states while state highways are also important.

2. To begin with,he travelled on foot.Later on,he
started to tame animals and train them to

a system of transport by land and water.The

4. LAND TRANSPORT
There are two means of transport by land-
Roads and Railways
Roads: Roads connect different places and

transport is that goods of any type can be taken
right up to the final point were they need to be

be bulid in all places,even the remotest
village on a hill.

6. National highway:The National Highway
connects all the important cities with each
other.It connects important cities of different
states.
State highways: State Highways are
important

8. The Metro railway is an important step
towards impro
