Land Transport

            On land, we use different means of transport. Some are fast, some slow. Some

            move on tracks, some are pulled by animals. But they all move on land. Some

            have two wheels, some have three, some have four, and some have more than

            four wheels.


















              Name a vehicle that has more than four wheels. ____________





                                            Trains run on tracks. A train carries thousands of people
                                            from one place to another.


                                            In  India,  Rapidx  rail  is  the
                                            latest mode of transport. It is

                                            the  fastest  train  in  India  for

                                            covering short distances.


            Water Transport

            We cross rivers and lakes by boats, motor boats, and

            steamers.

            Ships are used for long distance travel in the sea. It's

            the cheapest way to travel to far off places.



                                           Air Transport

                                           Aeroplanes are the fastest means of transport but also

                                           the most expensive. Helicopters fly in the air too, but

                                           cannot carry many people.




                                                                                                            EVS-2    71
