Roadways carry the largest share of passenger and freight movement.
Railways are next in bulk transport efficiency and long-distance movement.
Waterways are economical but limited in network coverage.
Airways are the fastest, but expensive and limited for mass transport.
Pipelines are specialised (mainly petroleum, gas, and slurry).
