    Transportation in modern times relies heavily on road, air, and rail networks. However, increased road traffic has led to problems like pollution, accidents, and traffic jams. Airways provide fast, comfortable transport that can access difficult terrain, while railways carry large numbers of people and goods more cleanly and comfortably than roadways. A well-developed transportation system affects peoples' lives by enabling trade, cultural sharing through travel, and increased economic conditions. Renewable energy sources can help reduce dependence on petrol and diesel by providing sustainable alternatives.
