運(yùn)輸是人和物品在兩地之間的移動(dòng)?，F(xiàn)代社會(huì)的主要運(yùn)輸方式包括鐵路運(yùn)輸、公路運(yùn)輸、水路運(yùn)輸、航空運(yùn)輸和管道運(yùn)輸。2.Intermodaltransportationoccurswhentwomodesormoreworkcloselytogetheronaregularbasis,utilizingtheadvantageofeachothers.多式聯(lián)運(yùn)是指兩種或兩種以上的運(yùn)輸方式利用各自優(yōu)勢(shì)，進(jìn)行常規(guī)的合作。3.Inroadtransportmarket,operatorsareabletouseexistingroadwayinfrastructureanddonotneedtoputinabigcapitalinvestmentaheadoftime.Hence,therearelotsofcompetitorsofferingthesamekindofservicewithcompetitiveprices.在公路運(yùn)輸市場(chǎng)中，承運(yùn)人可以使用現(xiàn)有的公路設(shè)施，無須先進(jìn)行大量的資本投入。因此這個(gè)市場(chǎng)中競(jìng)爭(zhēng)者很多，他們以有競(jìng)爭(zhēng)力的價(jià)格提供相似的服務(wù)。4.Railoffersthecost-effectivetransportoflargequantitiesofcargosoverlongdistances.Itisespeciallygoodforcargoswithhighvolumeandlowvalue,suchascoal,timberandgrain.鐵路為大宗貨物的長(zhǎng)距離運(yùn)輸提供經(jīng)濟(jì)的運(yùn)輸服務(wù)。體積大、價(jià)值低的貨物，比如煤炭、木材和谷物，特別適合使用鐵路進(jìn)行運(yùn)輸。5.Itofferrapid,flexibledelivery,butitisalsoperceivedasexpensivecomparedtothechargesoflandandoceanfreight.Bulkycargowithlowunitvaluecannotaffordtoshipbyair.它能提供快速、靈活、機(jī)動(dòng)的運(yùn)輸服務(wù)，但是大家認(rèn)為和水陸貨物運(yùn)輸相比，航空費(fèi)用昂貴。低值而體積大的貨物難以承受航空運(yùn)輸?shù)膬r(jià)格6.Asaresult,modescancompeteorcomplementeachotherintermsofcost,speed,accessibility,frequency,safety,comfort,etc.因此，運(yùn)輸方式之間能夠在成本、速度、可得性、經(jīng)常性（服務(wù)頻率）、安全性和舒適程度等方面相互競(jìng)爭(zhēng)或補(bǔ)充。TopicforDiscussion:
