Answer:
The three main benefits of the Trans-Siberian Railway are:
- more efficient trade of goods on the Pacific coast
- more efficient transportation of natural resources from the Asian part of the country
- faster and easier traveling for the people over very long distances
Explanation:
The Trans-Siberian Railway is the longest railway in the world. It connects the Baltic coast of Russia with the Pacific coast of Russia. This railway has managed to connect all of the startegically and economically most important cities in Russia (though it passes little through Mongolia and China as well) and it has contributed to boosting the economy and making traveling easier over the enormous territory of this country.
Among the many benefits, three stick out. Russia has been able to increase its trade on the Pacific coast, and when taken into consideration that that part of Russia is surrounded by big economies hungry for resources, it has had a very positive impact. The Asian part of the country is the one that has the majority of the natural resources, but the European part is the industrial center, so this railway has enabled faster, cheaper, and more efficient transportation of natural resources. Last but not least, the Russian citizens have been given the opportunity to travel across the country in a fast and relatively cheap manner, be it because of jobs, visiting family and friends, or tourism.
