They are distinguished by the way in which the bits are transferred from one point to another, along the bus. Serial Transmission is the type of transmission in which a single communication link is used to transfer the data from an end to another. On other hand Parallel Transmission is the transmission in which multiple parallel links are used that transmit each bit of data simultaneously.
