Introducing the Rhy'din Transit System (RTS)
The Rhy'din Transit System(RTS) is a set of trackless trains that run various routes through the city of Rhy'din and some of its associated Communities. The service is provided courtesy of the RTS at no cost to
either the communities, their residents, or those that make use of the system.
The RTS provides mainly passenger service, but limited freight service is also available. This frieght service will be station to station on the train's schedule rather than door to door service when requested as any of the normal carrier services in the city can provide.
Currently, the RTS has 3 Routes outside of the city of Rhy'din. These routes go to the communities of; Star's End, Arcadia, and Mount Yasou. The routes for Star's End and Arcadia run twice a day. Once in the morning, once in the evening. The route to Mount Yasou follows the one for Star's End until it leaves the city limits, at which point it breaks off and heads north to the borders of Mount Yasou territory. This train runs twice a week.
Trains may also be chartered at rates varied according to the event. Charitable charters are done at no charge. Civic charters at reduced rates. Private charters are charged a base rate, but application for reduced, or forgiven rates can be made on the basis of need.
It is also the policy of the RTS to keep two spare trains and drivers ready at all times for either emergencies, either civic or mechanical, or for impromtu chartering.
Unless otherwise noted in the post for that route, each route runs once an hour, starting out from the Transfer Station at right about on the hour. The trains will run 24 hours a day, unless severe weather or other restrictive crisis occur.
