📖 Let Us Begin!
How do you come to school? Do you walk, come by bus, or come by car? The ways we travel from one place to another are called means of transport.
Transport helps us go to school, work, and other places. It also helps carry goods from one place to another.
Let us learn about the different means of transport!
Types of Transport
Transport is grouped into three types based on where it travels:
Land Transport — travels on roads and rails.
Water Transport — travels on rivers and seas.
Air Transport — travels in the sky.
Land Transport
Land transport moves on roads and railway tracks. It is the most common type of transport.
| Vehicle | About It |
|---|
| Bus | Carries many people. Used for going to school and work. |
| Car | Carries a few people. Used by families. |
| Train | Runs on railway tracks. Carries many people over long distances. |
| Bicycle | Has two wheels. We pedal it. Good for short distances. |
| Auto-rickshaw | Three-wheeled vehicle. Very common in Indian cities. |
Ravi comes to school by bus. His father goes to work by bicycle. His family goes on trips by train. They use land transport every day!
Water Transport
Water transport moves on rivers, lakes, and seas.
Boat: A small vessel used on rivers and lakes. Fishermen use boats.
Ship: A very large vessel that travels on the sea. It carries goods and people across oceans.
Ferry: A boat that carries people across a river or lake.
Air Transport
Air transport moves in the sky. It is the fastest way to travel.
Aeroplane: Carries many people. Used to travel to faraway places quickly.
Helicopter: Can land in small spaces. Used for rescue work and in hilly areas.
Meena's family went to Delhi by aeroplane. It took only two hours! By train, it would take much longer. Aeroplanes are very fast!
Old and New Transport
| Old Transport | New Transport |
|---|
| Bullock cart (pulled by oxen) | Electric bus / Metro train |
| Horse carriage (tonga) | Electric car |
| Rowing boat | Motor boat / Speed boat |
In villages, bullock carts are still used. In cities, we have metro trains and electric buses. Transport has changed a lot over the years!
