Nile Bus/Taxi/Transport
Why Use the River?
Water transportation provides tremendous carrying capacity while consuming far less energy compared to other modes of transport such as truck, rail or air. Shippers select barge transportation because these energy efficiencies lead to substantial cost savings. One gallon of fuel can move one ton of cargo 514 miles by barge compared to 202 miles by train and only 59 miles by truck.
A study is needed to estasblish the following:
* Bus and Taxi ports/stops along the banks of the river nile to transport people. the bus and taxi stops can be every 5 miles and parallel on both sides of the river.
* River ports to transport cargo. transferring cargo from extreme south to north coast and along the way up and down the river to service the provinces.
