Detailed explanation-1: -Multimodal is a transportation term. Multimodal transportation includes public transportation, rail and waterways, bicycle and pedestrian. Multimodal access supports the needs of all users whether they choose to walk, bike, use transit or drive. It means more connections and more choices.
Detailed explanation-2: -Multimodal transportation or multimodal shipping refers to logistics and freight processes that require multiple modes of transportation. For example, one shipment may involve rail carriers, air cargo freight, as well as a truck carrier. These are three modes of transport used in combination to complete a shipment.
Detailed explanation-3: -Still, there is one key difference between intermodal and multimodal transport. With multimodal, you sign a single contract, employ a Bill of Lading, and use the same transport carrier. With intermodal, you sign many contracts and do more logistics coordination.
