Specific energy consumption is least in ________________ service?
Correct answer: A. main line
- A. main line
- B. urban
- C. suburban
Explanation
Main-line trains travel longer distances with fewer stops, so less energy is spent on repeated acceleration and braking per tonne-kilometre. Urban and suburban services have more frequent stops and therefore higher specific energy consumption.
