An efficient transportation infrastructure system is the need of every country. In other words, well-managed transportation infrastructure is extremely important for a country’s progress. There are many countries across the world that have iconic infrastructure. The best part is that many of those countries are known only because of their efficient transportation infrastructure system. The United States, which is one of the most powerful countries in the world is struggling with infrastructure crises for the past few years.
