India has Asia's largest and most comprehensive railroad lines and is one of the largest in the world as well.  The railroads cover 62,660 km (38,935 m) of track as of 1995 and are publicly controlled.  

The roads in India in 1996 covered 2.1 million km (1.3 million m) with about half being paved.  Bus companies are publicly owned are are operated by the state.  Almost 40 percent of the traffic on roads traveled on national highways, which make up about 2 percent of India's total road length. 

With the economic reforms in 1991, the domestic air service was opened to private airlines, thus creating competition for the publicly owned airlines.  A result of this change, was that air service increased.
