Questions and Answers

1.

For the transport of goods, the services should have the qualities of: (Select three)
- A.
  
  Speed
- B.
  
  Safety
- C.
  
  Fixed cost
- D.
  
  Regularity
Correct Answer(s)
A. Speed
B. Safety
D. Regularity

Explanation
The transport of goods requires three important qualities: speed, safety, and regularity. Speed is necessary to ensure that goods are delivered quickly and efficiently, meeting the demands of customers and minimizing delays. Safety is crucial to protect the goods from damage or loss during transportation, ensuring that they arrive in good condition. Regularity is important to maintain a consistent schedule for the transport of goods, allowing businesses to plan and coordinate their operations effectively. Fixed cost, while important in some cases, is not directly related to the qualities required for the transport of goods.

______ reduces the financial cost which is attached to goods in transit.
- A.
  
  Frequency
- B.
  
  Speed
- C.

B. Speed

Explanation
Speed reduces the financial cost which is attached to goods in transit because faster transportation allows for quicker delivery times. This means that goods spend less time in transit, reducing the risk of damage, theft, or spoilage. Additionally, faster transportation can result in lower inventory holding costs, as goods can be delivered more quickly and efficiently. Overall, speed is an important factor in minimizing the financial cost associated with goods in transit.

Transport facilities must have a capacity which is adequate for all reasonable demands.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
Transport facilities must have a capacity that is adequate for all reasonable demands. This means that the transport system should be able to accommodate the needs of all users and handle the expected level of demand without causing overcrowding or delays. If the capacity is insufficient, it can lead to inefficiencies, inconvenience, and dissatisfaction among users. Therefore, it is important for transport facilities to be designed and maintained with a capacity that can meet the reasonable demands of the users.

______ with regard to transport service means that the movements are either at evenly spaced intervals or at known times.
- A.
  
  Regularity
- B.
  
  Comprehensiveness
- C.
  
  Comfort
- D.
  
  Acceptable cost
Correct Answer
A. Regularity

Explanation
Regularity with regard to transport service means that the movements are either at evenly spaced intervals or at known times. This means that the transport service operates on a consistent and predictable schedule, allowing passengers to plan their journeys accordingly. Regularity is important as it ensures that passengers can rely on the transport service to be available when they need it, reducing waiting times and improving overall efficiency. Additionally, regularity also helps in reducing congestion and improving traffic flow by evenly distributing the movement of vehicles.

- A.
  
  True

Many transport services are tied to variable routes.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
B. False

Explanation
Transport services are not necessarily tied to variable routes. While some transport services may have fixed routes, others may have variable routes based on factors such as demand, traffic conditions, or specific customer requests. Therefore, it is not accurate to say that all transport services are tied to variable routes.

The normal habits of people are to travel as a "consolidation" of one or two persons, and any change is by consignment or two or more persons into a party.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
B. False

Explanation
The statement suggests that people normally travel alone or in pairs, and any change in this pattern involves more than two people traveling together. The correct answer is false because this statement is not necessarily true for all people. While some individuals may prefer to travel alone or in pairs, others may enjoy traveling in larger groups or with their families. Therefore, the statement does not accurately reflect the normal habits of all people when it comes to travel.

A failure to consolidate traffic will waste capacity because vehicles are idle.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
If traffic is not consolidated, it means that vehicles are not efficiently organized and are often idle, leading to wasted capacity. This can happen when there is no proper coordination or planning in place to optimize the flow of traffic. Idle vehicles take up space on the road without contributing to the movement of traffic, resulting in a waste of capacity. Therefore, the statement is true.

A small range of traffic may be handled by vehicles of approximately the same dimensions and weight carrying capacity.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
B. False

Explanation
A small range of traffic cannot be handled by vehicles of approximately the same dimensions and weight carrying capacity. This statement implies that vehicles of different sizes and weight carrying capacities are required to handle different levels of traffic. Therefore, the correct answer is False.

Advantages of small vehicles includes: (Select three)
- A.
  
  Loading and unloading time per movement can be less, but not necessarily less per passenger of unit of goods handled.
- B.
  
  More frequent movement with full loads is possible.
- C.
  
  Greater mixtures of traffic may be necessary to provide full loads.
- D.
  
  Specialisation of purpose may not create excessive idle time.
Correct Answer(s)
A. Loading and unloading time per movement can be less, but not necessarily less per passenger of unit of goods handled.
B. More frequent movement with full loads is possible.
D. Specialisation of purpose may not create excessive idle time.

Explanation
Small vehicles have several advantages. Firstly, loading and unloading time per movement can be reduced, which can be beneficial for efficiency. However, this advantage may not necessarily apply to each passenger or unit of goods handled. Secondly, small vehicles allow for more frequent movement with full loads, enabling faster transportation. Lastly, the specialization of purpose in small vehicles does not lead to excessive idle time, ensuring that the vehicles are utilized effectively.

In the carriage of passengers, complete or partial absence of a full load on the return journey may be due to several general conditions.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
The statement suggests that there can be situations where the carriage of passengers may not have a full load on the return journey. This can be attributed to various general conditions such as fewer passengers traveling back, drop-offs at different destinations, or different schedules for the return trip. Therefore, the statement is true as it acknowledges the possibility of a complete or partial absence of a full load on the return journey for passenger carriages.
