Transportation in Riamo
Transport in Riamo is characterised by an extensive network of roads, railways (including the world's longest high speed rail network), rapid transit, air routes, and ports. Its geographic location makes it an important link between Astariax, Olivacia, Caliandia and the western hemisphere. Major forms of transit generally radiate from the capital, Guri, located in the south of the country, and expand outwards to link with major urban areas.
Riamese transit is marked by a high degree of integration between its long-distance railway system and inner-city metro systems, and its vanguardist stance as a lead developer of the early railway has greatly impulsed integration with its neighbours via rail links. Riamo is currently working to increase and improve linkage with the rail systems of Gavrilia, including the high-speed rail line between Guri and Gavrilopolis[1][2].
Riamo's highway system is highly developed, with both tolled and free motorways. It is to be noted, however, that the Riamese highway network has been historically inferior to that of its neigbours, as the country has historically primarily focused on the development of rail transportation.
Air traffic is routed through several international and regional airports, the largest of which is Guri International Airport in Guri[3].
Transit Dependency
Being one of the beacons of rail development in the world, Riamo has provided important technological advancements to the wider rail industry, with world leading companies such as United Trenchways having been the nucleus of riamese culture since the dawn of the first steam machines.
It has been this cultural devotion to rails, in part, that has contributed so much to the now common phenomenon of Transit Dependency seen across the country. Troughout Riamese History, many politicians and monarchs have incentivised this transit initiative, not only providing a pillar to the economy but setting the stage for a long-lasting dependency on public transportation to come.
Nowadays, it is widely accepted that transit Dependency has been a consistent problem in the last half century, providing a stable pillar to the growing riamese economy while also being the originary of many societal issues across the nation.
Related Issues
Numerous studies have been made on the topic, most of which place the blame on 3 places:
- Political: Lack of automobile-friendly policies throughout Riamo, and as well as its propagandistic association with ecological transition as something benefitial for the nation
- Cultural: Generalized disgust towards the smell of naphtha and cultural association of daily commute with productivity and/or relaxation.
- Historical: Early adoption of railroads as a pillar of the riamese industrialization, the appearance of several movements, fields of study and philosphic schools of thought surrounding transportation, and the inclusion of the urban railroad as an aspect of the modern riamese city in achitecture and urban design.
