Verse:Chlouvānem Inquisition: Difference between revisions

Line 447:

* General speed limits are somewhat lower than in other countries (except in very sparsely populated areas), and (also because of this) most interurban traffic is handled by railways.

This does not mean that large cities in the Inquisition see few cars in their streets - in a city such as Līlasuṃghāṇa, the fact that there is a car every 4.5 inhabitants means that there are still almost 6½ million cars in the city - not counting those coming from outside and commercial vehicles, and there is a (rather small) minority of people anyway who commutes by car; figures in other large cities are similar (with, usually, a higher number of cars per people).

This does not mean that large cities in the Inquisition see few cars in their streets - in a city such as Līlasuṃghāṇa, the fact that there is a car every 5.5 inhabitants means that there are still almost 5.4 million cars in the city - not counting those coming from outside and commercial vehicles, and there is a (rather small) minority of people anyway who commutes by car; figures in other large cities are similar (with, usually, a higher number of cars per people).

Road vehicles are thus mostly trams (''ūnitā''), buses (''marcā''; and especially electric trolleybuses (''bęmarcā'') inside cities) and taxis (''mąšcūlla'' if a car; ''mąškhah'' if a rickshaw) for local transport; in most cities, bicycles, rickshaws, and cycle-rickshaws are the most common means of private transport — according to a 4E ᘔ9 <small>(129)</small> survey, there are four times as many bicycles than cars in the quaestorship of Līlasuṃghāṇa.<br/> Trams are a common sight in most medium- and large-sized cities, where they often act as the most local form of transport in a network with a backbone formed by subway and suburban railway lines. Many medium-sized cities also have hybrid tram/subway systems, with more central areas having a subway-like service with concurrent lines, while in the suburbs it becomes a large capacity tram service, fed by bus lines or, increasingly often in newer-built areas, cycling paths.
