Transport and its Role in the Society

Non-motorised transport, pedestrian, and bicycle transport are most often considered to be the most environmentally friendly types of personal transport; the railway is considered as environmentally friendly as well. Air transport seems to be a problem and the worst impact on the environment is represented by road transport, mainly individual. Rail transport is considered to be the most environmentally friendly regarding the transportation of goods, on the other hand the most unfavourable is road transport. The evaluation of water transport is ambiguous, because it represents a significant risk in case of accidents and the building of the infrastructure represents a significant interference with the countryside and river ecosystems.
