Railways form the principal mode for carrying goods and passengers over long distances and bind the country together. Pipelines are used to transport crude oil, natural gas and water over long distances efficiently. Waterways, both inland and coastal, are the cheapest means for carrying heavy and bulky goods. Airways are the fastest means of transport, covering difficult terrain easily, but are the most expensive. Together these means move people and goods across the country and support trade and the economy.
