Description

Ground-based shipping via road or rail.

Detailed Information

Surface Transport refers to the movement of goods via ground-based transportation methods, primarily road and rail. This is the most economical shipping option for domestic deliveries but takes longer than air transport. Surface transport is ideal for non-urgent shipments, heavy goods, and bulk cargo. In India, surface transport is the backbone of the logistics industry, with an extensive network of highways and railways connecting major cities and towns.
