📖 Let’s Learn Transport!

We use transport to travel from one place to another. Some transport goes on roads (cars, buses, auto), some goes on rails (trains).

Some transport goes on water (boats, ships), and some goes in the air (planes)! India has unique vehicles like the auto-rickshaw and scooter that we see every day.

💡 Did You Know?

India has one of the largest train networks in the world! Over 23 million people travel by Indian trains every single day. That’s more than the population of many countries!
