Modes

Railways

See also: Board of Railways

Suburban railway in Greater Lendert is mostly operated by the City and Counties Railway, which, however, must obey the orders of the Commission, by delegated authority of the Board of Railways.

The C.C.R. runs the Greater Circle line, which forms a loop in Greater Lendert, linking the seven main lines which radiate from the eight City railway termini. Services run into each terminus from the loop, although there are no terminus-to-terminus services.

The C.C.R. also operates a number of smaller suburban branch lines through the Greater Lendert area. Though some extending past the Greater Lendert border, they are still under the control of the Commission of Lendert Transport.

Ticketing is available under the standard Board of Railways Ticketing Scheme (B.o.R.T.S.), albeit with more generalised destinations owing to the density and number of stations.

Omnibus

Omnibus services are operated by four companies :— the City Union Omnibus Company, the Manstole Omnibus Company, the Lendert General Omnibus Company, and the Metropolitan Tramways and Omnibus Company.
