TRANSIT TIMES AND OTHER TRANSPORATION INFORMATION
Transit and transporation is one of the most vital aspects of space colony life. Whether one desires to take a vacation out on the exotic Jovian moons when they live on Earth, or if someone simply wants to visit a relative on Mars, the most important factor of exactly how to get out there would lie within transportation. Below is a comprehensive listing of different types of transportation, the cost of each, how distance is accounted for, etc.
Intercolony/Space Transport
Transportation Type and Price/Time Information
NOTE: ACTUAL PRICES ARE CALCULATED VIA THE SPACE TICKET PROGRAM, AND THERE IS NO ACTUAL DEFAULT BASE PRICE PER TICKET.
Terrestrial Transport
NOTE: BASE TICKET PRICES DO NOT FACTOR IN TERRITORY SURCHARGES AND OTHER MONETARY ADDITIONS TO THE PRICE OF THE TRIP TAKEN.
Although one of the most popular as well as the fastest terrestrial transport methods lie within the Cyprus Gateway Transit System, other options exist, which can be seen above labeled both Regular and Luxury. Granted, each one has its own pluses and minuses, but all in all it depends on the traveler's personal preference. Generally speaking, the cheapest is Regular, the most expensive and elegant is Luxury, and the fastest is Cyprus Gateway. As far as space transport is concerned, here again it all depends on the traveler's preference as well as their starting point and destrination. And although the exact prices for space transport cannot be generalized, a couple things can be-the longer the route, and/or the faster the transport, the larger the final monetary cost will be.
