Transport in Brazil
[edit]As befits such a large country Brazil has a large and diverse transport network.There are however significant regional variations in the quality and extent of the highway network. In comparison with North America and Europe the rail network is limited.[1] The poor logistics infrastructure has been seen as a significant negative factor for Brazil´s economy[2],absorbing some 20% of the countries GDP[3]. However, ongoing large scale investment in new projects will go some way to addressing some of the problems[4].
With large distances and some very remote communities (especially in Amazonia) it should come as no surprise that Brazil has a large and well developed domestic aviation network, with the second highest number of airfields in the World[5]
