===Transportation=== So, now that you are in the city, you want to get around, either within a single district, or between separate districts. So, here are some confirmed methods of transportation that exist. * '''Walking''': Bam! Do some calf raises, get to where you need to go, next. * '''Trains''': The city of Purgatoria has a remarkable rail infrastructure, yet the power source for these trains is never identified, so you should assume that these trains run on whale oil imported from district 10. This is your best way to travel within a district, or between districts if you have the right travel documents. Even if you don't have the proper travel documents, train stations are pretty easy to sneak into, and it's not like they check your ticket on the train... have you ever actually ridden on a train, not a subway, a real train? * '''Freight Elevators''': The convenient plot device of the over worked GM. These will take you to where you need to go, or close enough that it is irrelevant, right when you need to travel between districts in a timely manner without question or search. Yet, they will disappear, fall into disrepair, or be filled with dirty degenerates who will not let you in when the planets aren't aligned. So don't expect to rely on these, unless your GM is a stickler for playing fair. * '''Motorized Carts''': Generally not used for mass transit, these will only appear when the party decides that they need some form of wheeled vehicle, like a mechanical Shadowfax. These also run on whale oil, so don't ask your GM too many questions if you find one of these rare and wild beauties, or its under powered engine might sputter out and die. Don't expect these to go anywhere fast, or provide the ability to haul much, as they amount to what are golf carts. * '''Cars''': Cars are extinct, in all the games that I have played there has been a single car that was seen in the entire city. This rarity is most likely due to the difficulty in converting the car to run on imported whale oil, or the number of vehicular homicide cases. However, if cars are seen they will most likely be described like modern cars, as opposed to cars which could logically developed in the setting, some sort of mechanical abomination like the Model T, due the GM's lack of experience with cars prior to power steering being widely implemented.
