🚗 2) Core Concepts: What is Transport?
Transport means moving people or things from one place to another. It helps us go to school, visit friends, and send goods like fruits and clothes to markets.
There are 3 main types of transport:
| Type | Examples | Where Used in India? |
|---|---|---|
| Land Transport | Buses 🚌, Cars 🚗, Trains 🚂, Bikes 🏍️ | Mumbai local trains, Delhi Metro |
| Water Transport | Boats ⛴️, Ships 🚢 | Kerala backwaters, Mumbai Port |
| Air Transport | Airplanes ✈️, Helicopters 🚁 | Indira Gandhi International Airport, Chennai Airport |
Transport helps in connecting cities, villages, and even countries! It makes life easier and faster.
