What is the best mode of travel? That is one of the broadest questions one could ask as many people have their own favourite mode of travel, whether by land, sea or air. The most commonly used one would probably be land but isn’t necessarily the safest compared to travelling by air, but that isn’t as comfortable as travelling on a cruise liner on the sea. The debate will only go on and on but let’s try and simplify that for you.
Airplanes have revolutionized the way of travel with many transport companies pushing plane tickets as their main selling points. The reason being is quite simple, it’s quick, it’s easy and relatively cheap. Not many modes of transport can compare to the wonderful mode of traveling by air but although it may be quicker, is it really worth it? Unless you fly business class, which can be very expensive, someone is always breathing down your neck. During long flights it is hard to relax, most of the time you have to be seated and the seat belts have to be belted to your body. Before the flight itself, all you do is basically wait in lines and follow procedure because of the strict security regulations.
Travelling by sea always seems to unlock the adventure in someone’s soul and before cars and planes ships and boats were the only way of getting around the world unless you had a hot air balloon. Transport companies in Melbourne love offering you holidays on cruise liners, and it does seem worth it doesn’t it? Although most cruises are inclusive of most meals, drinks and activities, there are many things you are going to have to pay for yourself. When a ship finally reaches its point of destination you are going to want do all the activates and explore the place you have docked in, that part though, isn’t inclusive and you are going to have to do all those things at your own expense.
Travelling by land is probably the most used and most common mode of transport, which is very understandable. People use cars everyday and are also probably the most purchased mode of transportation. Whether you travel by car, truck or motorbike you are always on the move and not waiting in lines or trying to leave the harbour. The only problem people have with land transportation is the safety issue, yes the vehicle is always in your control but it doesn’t necessarily have to be your fault for an accident to occur.
Whichever mode of transportation you choose just make sure you make a decision based on the situation.
