overall, the road was the most popular transportation system over the period, While the pipeline was the least. The goods transported by all four methods increased in the final year compared to their first.
With regard to the amounts of goods transported by road, it began at 70 million tones then after some slight fluctuation peaked at 98 million tones in 1998 and then remain constant until the end of the period.
