Explanation of Solution

The principal modes of transportation are,

  1. Road transportation
  2. Rail transportation
  3. Air transportation

If the principal modes of transportation are not available, then life becomes very tough as everyone is dependent on it. Our day to day life and activities are dependent on transportation, and it will be largely affected without it.

To reach from one place to another like school, office, shopping and covering large distances will become difficult. Unavailability of transportation will influence the livelihood of people and force an individual to stay at one place.

Goods and services will also be disturbed due to lack of transportation. Goods produced at one place needs be transported to another to earn money by selling them. Customers of these goods and services will also be deprived of these good and services due to lack of transportation.
