There are many problems to do with transport in the modern world. As population numbers increase, the demands on road, rail, sea and air connections between cities also increase. As the volume of passenger transport and goods transport increases, more trains, boats and planes are needed. This increases the strain on existing roads, ports and airports. One could build more roads and airports but as well as being expensive, they use up precious land and contribute to atmospheric pollution. Increasing the number of vehicles imposes pollution problems themselves. Even if people reduce their personal travel to a minimum, transport of food and manufactured goods still has to be provided. At the moment, a big problem in cities is the large number of people travelling during the rush hours.
