Q

Compare the transport industry of China versus India

A

CHINA
Outsource minor tasks
Railways does not run museums and cultural centres hospitals et cetera
centralised management of depots and stations
Railway available for long distances not for short
Close down railways stations due to low traffic
use fast freight trains to transport coal iron cement
Biggie construction factories run by private companies

INDIA
Railways is a vote bank
management of schools and hospitals because election promises
last three points not in India
