Transportation systems in developing countries

Transportation is a essential need in today. It has developed not among region to region  or district to district .It has developed up to  until the whole world become a global village. The main aspect of the transport is to move from one place to another. But with the passage of time with the growing needs of humans, people tend to move their goods. It is said that the beginning of transportation was firstly through foot and then on the back of the village can be considered as the beginning of the transportation system. According to the pre historic data that are available in Sri Lanka it is said the Prince Vijay who came from south India has used water transportation. And also there are myths about King Ravana and his vehicle which was similar to an aero plane. Somehow today Sri Lanka has become a developing country in south Asian region where the number of vehicles are increasing in day by day.

The industrial revolution which took place in England in 1870’s caused for born of engine vehicles .And also at that time England became the emperor of south Asian and African continental countries. Their main ambition was to collect the spices and row material in those countries and bought them to their mother countries. To make their task easy they built up roads and railway lines in those countries. That marked the beginning of transportation system in developing countries. The beginning they started has not stopped until today. Day by day the transport network in each country is becoming complex.

The best examples is Sri Lanka.There was a good road network coverage in Sri Lanka in the 20 ^th century also. But now a days addition to those road systems new southern high ways, Hambantota Harbor ,Mattala airport has raised up. Today Sri Lanka possessed a developed road system rather than other developing nations. The mode of travelling in these developing countries are Motor cycles, cars and public bus services. From the total population of a country about 70 % is travelling from public services. The oncoming trend is increasing the number of Motor cycles and cars in these areas. They depend on water transportation mainly to transport goods. The passenger services are also done by Air mode .But that can be bear by only the wealthy ones.

The development of transportation in these areas has caused number of troubles today .It has affect  not only to their country but also for the whole globe. The major problem is traffic congestion .And it has caused for depletion of ozone layer due to emit of more co₂ to the environment .So it has cause to melt glacier layers,skin effects .And also Vehicle accidents has increased up.Therfore we should be more concentrate on the transport in these region for the secure of whole globe.
