Transport in Pakistan

The Different means of transport used in Pakistan are as follows:

• Road Transport: In Pakistan, trucks, trailers etc are used in road transport. Goods are usually transported through trucks in places where there is sufficient road network. Road transport is a very convenient means of transportation  but due to the lack of road networks all over the country, it is unusable at few places.
• Railway: Railway system is also used for transporting huge quantities of goods. There are separate dedicated trains for transportation. In places where there is no or insufficient road network, railway system is used.
• Ships and Ports: Ships are used for transport of goods between countries. For sea transport to exist, ports are necessary where ships can land and the goods can be unloaded. In Pakistan, there is a port in "Kemari" (Karachi). Government of Pakistan has also made another port in "Gawadar" ( Baluchistan)
• Airplanes: Air transport is also used in few rare cases for the transport of goods.Usually, it is used by companies to ship goods to customers which are not very much in quantity and when goods are of the perishable nature. Air transport is most expensive.
