this has been my one more piece of imagination..
transportation is costing huge to our exchequer.. well. particualrly, transportation by road .
my idea is not new one..cauze..i heard.. konkan railway..(runs along INDIAN westcoast) have moved trcuks with cargo on thier rail. The arrangement is such that..
1. driver brings the vehicle on the railway moving platform. and then
2. Then, the platform moves to next destination on the rail..
3. Then driver drives the vehicle out of paltform to the next destination.
The above movement not only save fuel , minimise drivers' fatigue and vehicles' wear n tear.
MY IDEA IS .
why can'nt we have such rails (not roads) whereever we get plain land to begin(though konkan railway passes mountainous region).
At least, we must make a beginning by identifying those routes where terrain is plain and traffic is huge..
well, i didn't have calculation of cost of such an arrangement vis-a-vis road transportation. My guess -intial cost of setting up of train tracks may be huge but that should wipe out once the savings in terms of savings in fuel, less wear n tear , driver's rest etc. over a long period of time.
