How are means of transport and communication complementary to each other? Explain with three examples. (CBSE 2013)

Means of transport and communication are complementary to each other:

1. Science and technology have radically improved communication between distant areas facilitating transport between both. For example, a person in Gujarat can know the transport facilities in Odisha through communication.

2. Transport has contributed a lot to improved communication. For example, packages from a country can reach any corner of the world because of improved transportation.

3. World-wide trade relations and policy making has been enabled only because of efficient transport as well as communication.

Explanation: Transport and communication go hand in hand. Both are essential for the development of any region. Transport enables communication and communication facilitates transport.
