The document discusses transportation systems in India. It outlines different modes of transportation including road, rail, air and water. It describes problems with the current system such as faulty planning, lack of coordination between rail and road, and use of obsolete assets. Solutions proposed include improved infrastructure, use of public transportation and mini buses, and government legislation and private sector involvement to support sustainable transportation.

7. ROADWAYS
 Roadways play vital role by providing flexibility,
reliability speed and door to door services besides
supplementing and increasing the efficiency of
other modes of transportation .
 Road transports provides access to millions of
people by using National Highways, State
Highways & District Roads

8. VARIOUS TYPES OF HIGHWAYS
 NATIONAL HIGHWAYS
 National highways which are about 100,087 km,
including over 1000 kms of expressways.
Maintained by NHAI.
 STATE HIGHWAYS
 State highways which are about 150000 km, and
maintained by state governments. They connect
important cities as well as towns.

13. WATER TRANSPORT
o Before the coming of road and rail transport it was
water transport (regarded as the oldest
transportation mode) which carried goods and
persons from one place to another. In spite of the
bridges constructed over the rivers it still has
relevance because of environmental considerations
and of being economical.
o Inland Waterways Authority of India The Inland
Waterways Authority of India (IWAI) came into
existence on 27 October 1986 for development and
regulation of inland waterways for shipping and
navigation

 Coastal Shipping
 Inland Waterways
 Foreign Going Traffic

PROBLEMS IN TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM
 1. Faulty Planning of Transport System:
 The development of transport system is unbalanced. There is heavy
pressure on rail and road transport in certain cities and regions.
 For balanced development of region, alternative routes should be
developed e.g. Metro in Delhi has decreased the pressure on road
transport.
 2. Lack of Rail Road Co-ordination:
 Rail and Road transport systems are the main means of transportation in
a country. These two should work in co-ordination. Generally it is not
so e.g. In 1951, the share of road transport in freight traffic and
passenger traffic was 11% and 26% respectively. But in present days its
share is 60% and 80% respectively.

16. 3. Worn out and Obsolete Assets :
The main problem of our transport system is its worn out and
obsolete assets. In all modes of transport there are old and worn out
infrastructure. These need immediate replacement. They are main
cause of accidents and environmental pollution. In air transport
nearly one third of the total fleet requires immediate replacement.
4. Improved technology:
Modernization and use of latest technology in transport system is
the need of hour. In rail and road transport system, we are using age
old technology so our progress is slow. Our road construction is of
substandard and it increases wear and tear of vehicles and over
head expenditure. Our engine design, old signaling system, multi-
axle vehicles and worn out tracks are the main problem of railway
transport.

17. SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM
 Moving walkways
Government must develop the side walkways so that it must
be easy for the people to roam around and they will get a
good space to walk around the city.
 Mini Buses/ Coaches
Minibuses have the advantage of being small. They can
come more often, and can fit into smaller bus stations and
smaller roads. Minibuses/coaches provide the necessary
flexibility in case you want to change the itinerary during the
journey

18.  Government legislation to support the nascent sustainable
transportation industry. It was only in 1991 that the first stage
emission norms came into force for petrol vehicles; norms for diesel
vehicles were passed in 1992.
 Private companies need to do their part too, both to take full
advantage of Government and market opportunities—and to create
them. Pressure for positive change from the industries that underpin
India’s transformational economic growth can drive pro-environment
legislation, increase government attention to infrastructure, and
educate consumers about sustainable choices.
 Use of Public transport and the use of metro-trains should be
encouraged, considering that these vehicles are already overflowing
with increasing population adding more buses and trains can be a
problem but it demands more and spacious roads

19. CONCLUSION
 India’s share of world tourist traffic is 0.29% with
around a million per annum visiting India. One
amongst the various obstacles in achieving an
increase in international tourism in India is the
serious deficiency in travel facilities from the main
points of arrival in the country to the centre of
tourist attraction which they want to visit and stay
at.
 The growth of air travel capacity during the next
decade will have to cater to this requirement.
Tourist traffic is estimated to grow at 6% annually.

20.  Tourism as an industry can only be developed in
the time taken to cover the long distances is cut
short to the minimum.
 So their must to good plans and policies to develop
the transportation facilities in India so that a
tourist/Visitor can enjoy their journey.
 Govt. must make good rules and regulations so that
it will help the transportation system to grow
effectively and efficiently.
