A glance at the graph reveals that, in general, the amount of goods carried by roads lead during the indicated period, and fluctuated between 70 and 97 million tonnes. In contrast, the smallest amount belonged to pipelines which transported only 5 million tonnes in 1974, and after being stable during 1981-1992 it began to increase slightly and reached 21 tonnes in 1996 which had not changed until 2002.
Moreover, the indicators of water and rail were similar in 1974, precisely, the lines even overlapped till 1977. Afterwards, the gap between the quantity of wares conveyed by water and rail began widening, to be more specific, most of people preferred to carry over the water whereas rails lost popularity.
