United Trenchways

United Trenchways, also called UT, is a multinational corporation composed of several infraestructure and transportation builders and operators with hub in Guri. The company was created in 1972 and today encompasses over 54 different societies across many transportation and infrastructure-related fields.

UT originated as part of a major rebranding and restructuring effort undergone after the Peaceful Revolution, in hopes that the unification of most rail transport providers under a single banner would fix the monopoly situation over several connections whivh severely limited operability across the country.

After its initial stagnation due to intense restructuring and bureaucratic processes, UT would quickly become a resounding success both culturally snd economically, solving many of the issues existing before its conception and provoding the nation with a realiable, altho initially not cheap, rail transportation system.

UT's success would turn it into a major corporation within decades, eventually going on to provide service to many destinations nationwide, later including international routes on its list of clients as public transportation grew larger and larger in the mainland.

The company remains as the largest rail and transport operator and infrastructure builder of Riamo, operating more than 62 urban transportation networks across the country. Abroad, UT is currently responsible for operation and/or construction of rail-based projects across the globe, such as 4 urban trabsit systems in Anahuac, Vinchina's Urban Transit system in Riojania, the L-2201 HSR line in Kentalis, or the Cross-Negro lines to Gavrilia, among many others.

Subsidiaries

Gassasinian Trenchways

Gassasinian Trenchways is a subsidiary of United Trenchways based in Gassasinia. It was founded in 1978 through a partnership with the local government of Basra, a satellite city of Jabiyah which would later be amalgamted into New Jabiyah. The partnership saw Gassasinian Trenchways construct railway services from Jabiyah to Basra, in return for being allowed to take ownership of the land around the tracks. As of today, the Basra City Railway boasts 2 metro lines and 2 tramway lines. In 2003, the Basra City Railway, along with the privately owned New Jabiyah Subway and the Gassasinian Railways-operated Jabiyah Subway, agreed to form the Jabiyah Metro which introduced a unified ticketing system, uniform branding, synchronised time-tables and integrated maps.

Since the liberalisation of the Gassasinian Railways rail network in 2008, Gassasinian Trenchways has provided a range of rail services as an open-access railway operator. Gassasinian Trenchways also operates services on a number of low-traffic unelectrified rural routes whose passenger operations have been outsourced. The TransMagrikia brand was introduced in 2012, providing budget-friendly high speed and intercity services.

Rolling Stock

High Speed "Shinkansen" Rail lines

High Speed railways remain the only major notable example of non-standardised rolling stock in Riamo. Several attempts have been made since the conception of the initial Standardization Act, but private enterprises as well as multi-lateral competition have turned down all attempts. Trains tend to be between 108 and 144 meters long, with High-Speed trains using letters to help the passengers navigate the lenght of the platforms to help them find their designated seats.

While most high-speed rail lines may share portions of railway with regional and trenchway lines, HSR lines are configured and timed to have absolute priority over other passenger services, as well as cargo ones, across all the national territory. Because of the constricted speed for which some of the older tunnels and bridgeways were built, most high-speed routes can only achieve low speeds in high-speed-rail terms; a condition which has allowed for some older models to remain in operation without becoming deprecated. The constant renovation and repairs of the trains and tracks, as well as the train culture in Riamo, have further prompted older iconic trains to remain in service well past their designed lifespam.

Surface "Tramway" lines

While most classes are compatible with the A3 and A5, some, specially older ones, tend to present notable differences in aspects such as floor height and car lenghts, which can cause issues regarding their accessibility in some platforms, among others.

Because of these problematics, A3 and A5 are hence the only 2 classes considered standard under current legislation, also being the only two classes allowed for new developments. The rest of classes are, as of 2022, on their way to being phased out across the country.

Buses

Buses in Riamo work in 2 types of systems:

The main urban bus, locally called "color" buses, are operated by often more than one company per urban area, whose color is relative to the urban area itself and helps as identificator to the city. They have urban routes and link other transit stations where there isn't reachability for faster types of transit.

There are also "green" buses, operating as links between the cities and suburbs/nearby towns, which operate under corridors in radial patterns that follow the main highways of the city. These types of bus tend to be coaches, with hourly-lenght routes that link the city with nearby urban centers and towns.

In some urban areas of the country, there is also the relatively unknown "Wards", or "güagüas" in spanish. These are smaller buses, with individual owners, who run "personalized" routes that do not adhere to city "color" buses, serving instead differently-numbered routes unique to each city and different from the local bus network's lines, each city having their own registry of this type of route. These buses are very much urban, and tend to go in small loops, connecting small portions of boroughs of the city with one or a couple subway/train stations with very little routes and often just one bus with its owner driving it. These routes are considered to be a very effective way to cover the "last mile" of a transit-oriented journey.
