Getting Around....
Kansas City boasts a state of the art Grav-Rail System®. This subway/monorail system can wisk visitors from one end of the city to another in only 15 minutes, on an express line. The "trains" as they are called operate at 500 km per hour, and even local routes can cross the city in only about 45 minutes on average. Fares are reasonable at 5cr per express token and 3cr per local token.

For safe and efficient shorter distance travel, slidwalks have been installed throughout the city. These conveyances travel at 4 kph, so watch your step.

Please note that while the use of private grav-cars is permitted, they must be slaved to the central transportation satellite at all times. Unlawfully disengaging this safety mechanism will result in fines, up to confiscation of your grav-car and incarceration of 30 to 90 days. For those desiring private transport an even better method is hiring one of the many city regulated taxi's. These safe and efficient vehicles operated by friendly, helpful drivers, have priority clearance around the city. So there average travel times are less than those of a private grav-car. Rates are 10cr per initial hire and .5cr per kilometer thereafter.
