Mode of transport refers to the means or method by which people or goods are moved from one place to another. Modes of transport can be broadly classified into two categories: land, air, and water, and a combination of these modes, known as intermodal transport.

Land transportation involves the use of vehicles, such as cars, buses, trucks, trains, and trams, to move people and goods over land. Roads, railways, and highways form the basis of the transportation network in this mode.Subsystem of land transport includes inland waterways.

Air transportation involves the use of airplanes to transport people and goods through the atmosphere. Airports serve as the primary hub for air transportation services, and airlines operate a wide range of aircraft to cater to differentclasses of travel.

Water transportation includes modes such as shipping and boat travel. Shipping involves the use of large ships to transport goods across long distances, while boat travel is used for shorter distances, such as within rivers or coastal areas.

Each mode of transport has its own set of advantages and disadvantages. For example, air transportation is fast and convenient, but it is also expensive and limited by weather conditions. Land transportation is more environmentally friendly, but it can be slower and more prone to traffic congestion.

Intermodal transport involves the use of multiple modes of transport to move goods or people from one place to another. An example of intermodal transport is shipping goods by sea and then transporting them by truck or train to their final destination.
