Nowadays, with the economic (经济的) and social (社会的)development, there are lots of means of transport for people to choose from. But each has both advantages and disadvantages.
Because plane is the fastest vehicle (交通工具), some people prefer (更喜欢) to travel by air in order to save time. But it also costs the most.
Taking trains costs not as much as taking planes and they carry the most among all of the vehicles.
The ship also has a large carrying capacity (容量) and the price of a ticket is quite low, but it travels the slowest. So it is not a wise (明智的) choice for you to travel a long journey by ship.
The bus is only suitable for a short-distance trip, and the price is rather low as well.
