The Multi-model transport system inSyria is considered of
slow evolution systems as it is capital intensive in alldifferent
means (land،marine،air،pipelines) and thus predominated by a
high fixed cost economic feature،and this causes an obstacle t
o
the development of multi-modeltransport،and therefore its inability
to compete.
But the hard work in improving thetransportation sector (by
land،sea،air) and the different modes (train،truck،ship،aircraft) and
following the necessarystrategies and logistics to help in
developing it،made the transport sector in Syria contributes a
significant proportion of GDP.
This research provided an analytical study of Two basic variables Which are cost and
revenue in railway transport Institution, based on the laws relating to the rail system. The
researcher found that different Syrian railways standard gauge railway
system (display
tracks 1405 mm) makes the Syrian railways non-compete globally, in addition to being
unused or underutilized in many Syrian cities, which is The major problem.
The importance of research that the use of this type of rail would bring profits and
losses of economic and financial terms, as in most of the railways in Europe and the United
States and Japan, if you rely on the new shape of the railroad in Syria based on
comparative analysis of both the costs and revenues.
The researcher adopted on the descriptive analytical metgology to analyse the cost
and revenue data for each of the rail transportation and ground transportation for the period
from 1980 to 1987.
The researcher reached the most important set of results, the analysis of the
financial situation of cost and revenue of the new railway transport of goods and
passengers is equal between transport by truck and rail transport, while cargo operation on
the roads by truck is a Losing process..
