I would assess each on the basis of several factors: cost, safety, speed, comfort, convenience, flexibility, and availability. You might consider the circumstances where each would be ideal - you probably would not choose air travel for a distance of 50 miles, for example. In some areas train travel is very convenient, while in others there are very few trains available (if any), and they may leave/arrive at times like 3 am.

Draw a table with four rows and two columns.
Make the cells really big so you have plenty of room to write.
Write "advantages" above one column and "disadvantages" above the other.
To the left of the table, next to each row, write the four modes of transportation (so each row will be about one).
Now start brainstorming.
