Answer:
Road
transport in India is complementary to railways in the following ways
(i) Road transport is suitable for short distances, whereas rail
transport is more suitable for long distances.
(ii) Bulky arid non-perishable goods are transported by railways
over long distances and longer time, whereas perishable goods can be
transported by roads in shorter time.

(iv) Road transportation increases the reach of railways by
providing the final links, i.e., giving door-to-door service.
