    Why is road transport in India considered more useful than rail transport? State two reasons in support of your answer.
    Ans :
    1. Road transport is more flexible than rail as buses, trucks and cars may be stopped anywhere and at any time for passengers and goods whereas trains stop at stations only.
    2. Road transports provide door to door service. Roads can negotiate high gradients and sharp turns to reach at all most all areas whereas trains cannot do the same. Roads can be constructed at hilly areas also.
