4. Transport by Pipeline

For transporting natural gas or liquids like oil and water, etc. pipelines are often used. These are a cheap and efficient way to transport such materials. This is because it is an automatic process. It has a constant flow of goods and doesn't need drivers or much labour. Another advantage is it can go through difficult geography like rivers and mountains where roads or rail are more difficult to build.
