Answer 3

river travel was probably 99% better than car or train or bus travel is because it doesn pollute the air. The only way to travel better than river travel is walking or bicycle travel. I say it was better because now most of all travel ways are somehow harming the earth, other than walking or bicycling. River travel used to be the fastest way to travel besides horses.
