multimodal transport systems

A multimodal transport system involves using two or more different modes of transportation—such as trucks, trains, ships, or planes—to move goods or passengers efficiently from one place to another. It combines these methods within a single coordinated plan, often using a common container or freight unit, to optimize speed, cost, and reliability. This approach reduces handling, minimizes delays, and can be more environmentally friendly. Essentially, it's a seamless way of connecting various transport options to deliver a smooth, integrated journey or delivery.
