INTRODUCTION
For the rapid economic, industrial and cultural
growth of any country, a good transportation
system is very important. The transportation
system consists of a network of roads, railways,
well -developed waterways and airways. Air and
water transport contribute to some extent to
the domestic transport system, but both are
important modes of transport especially with
foreign countries. Railways and highways also
contribute to some extent transportation with
foreign countries but their main concern is
within the country itself.
