Transportation fee (from the departure railway station to the destination railway station)

Freight (from the destination railway station to the consignee's factory)

Road transportation: door-to-door freight (there is a car to pick up the goods from your company and deliver them directly to the consignee's company)

In the long-distance part, the railway is definitely cheaper than the highway, but the railway transportation is divided into three links, each of which needs to earn you a sum of money, and each link needs to take care of time. Although the long-distance part of road transportation is more expensive than the railway, the delivery and delivery basically don't make you money, so the railway is not necessarily cheaper than the road transportation. Of course, if the distance is long enough (for example, from Shanghai to Chongqing), the advantages of long-distance railway will emerge.

Railways have national tasks. In special circumstances, such as the Sichuan earthquake last year, it will put your goods aside and empty the wagons to transport relief supplies. This has already happened to me. Road transportation may take several days for road reasons, but it will never leave your goods aside.

In developed countries, railway transportation is generally more than 1 1,000 kilometers, while in China, railway transportation is more than 1 1,700 kilometers. The main reason is that the railway in China is underdeveloped, which is also the main reason for the high logistics cost in China. But at the end of last year, the Ministry of Railways issued a 3 trillion railway proposal. It is predicted that the railway transportation in China will be greatly improved in three years.
