प्रश्न
What are the difficulties in the development of the railway system in Brazil's internal areas?
उत्तर
Rail transport started in Brazil from the 19th century. Still, the most common means of transportation in Brazil is the roadways or waterways. The extent of railways in much smaller in Brazil. It is nearly five times smaller than the extent of roadways in Brazil.
The density of the rail network is concentrated in the eastern part of the country. The internal region is actually devoid of the rail network. There are many difficulties in the development of the rail network in the internal areas. The dense, impenetrable Amazon forests and the vast tributaries that form the Amazon basin are the main reason for the lack of a rail network in the internal regions compared to the eastern side of the country. Some areas may be defined by certain tribal groups. The acquisition of land for commencing rail network is also a big issue. The use of the rail network for transportation is highly restricted in the country.
The government has initiated many projects for the development of rail networks across the country and also for the upkeep of the existing ones.
