9 Work in pairs. Say what advantages and disadvantages each of the means of transportation have? Compare them against some of the criteria below.
- An efficient transportation network is essential for the sustainable development of any country.
• its weight-carrying ability (how much of a load it’s able to transport)
• its speed (how quickly the load can be delivered to its destination)
• its reliability (whether the transport is independent from weather conditions)
• its safety (whether the transport is safe enough for the people who operate it, for the people living nearby, and for the environment)
• its ability to work in hard-to-reach regions (if the transport is able to do without proper roads, runways, etc)
• its construction costs (how much it takes to build the transport itself and its operational facilities)
• its maintenance costs (how much it costs to maintain the transport itself and all the necessary facilities in appropriate operational order)
Example: Pipelines are good for transporting gas and oil. This way of transport is very reliable as it doesn’t depend on weather conditions, and oil and gas can be delivered to far destinations. However, the construction costs are very high. Maintaining pipelines can be difficult too as they often go through poorly populated regions.
