transport
, which increased from about 70
million

million

Goods
transported by water and pipeline
also
went up. Water
transport
started at just below 40
million
tonnes
and went up to just above 60
million
tonnes
. Pipeline
transport
began at about 5
million
tonnes
and rose to over 20
million
tonnes
. Among the four types, road
transport
was the most used.

goods
transported by rail showed a different pattern. In 1974, rail

million
tonnes
, but it fell to around 30
million
tonnes
by 1984. After some ups and downs from 1984 to 1995, rail
transport
increased a lot, reaching just over 40
