Vehicle Use In Rapture

* See also Game_Experience
* See also Transportation_Systems
* See also Streets
With Some More Logical Streets paths through Rapture with straight and flat paths (sans stairs), it would be likely that small vehicles could be used to move People and Freight from the other Transport Systems. With the theme of the MMORPG to NOT BE blocking of the Player's movements, you would be seeing mostly Vehicle-Capable paths.

Grand Theft Rapture :
We got guns, Factions, people to kill, loot to be stolen, things to be blown up, lots of potential for mayhem ...
But Vehicles ?? With Submarines it just isn't the same. Ditto with anything on tracks.
On Motorized Wheelchairs in "Asclepius" ( the large (old) City Hospital complex ) ???
Motorized Bikes might be the best we can do. Scooters in Rapture ?
Heh - those Securis doors just don't open fast enuf ( maybe some kind of pre-triggering could be arranged ). The bulkhead door of the 'Streets' stay open (normally open) so for those good-sized paths this isn't a problem.
Splicers on unicycles would be just stupid - save that kind of thing for Columbia.
Chasing people with a chainsaw on a bike... ( The Drill I suppose will just have to do. )

Battery Powered small vehicles 
Lead-Acid Batteries work well enough with the short distances involved and the easy availability of electricity to recharge the batteries.

Combustion Engine Issues :
Consuming Fuel and Oxidizer
Ineffective Combustion of Surface type fuels causes Noxious Fumes to be emitted. There is also the problem of the Sources for Hydrocarbons. Alcohol is one possibility which can burn relatively cleanly.
Oxygen-Hydrogen powered engine ( Rapture using electric-driven Electrolysis to produce H2 'inside' ). This combination 'Combusts' into high pressure steam which can condense to liquid water ( H20 ).
Hydrogen and Oxygen needs to be compressed for 'fuel' storage and held in heavy steel tanks - Less dense than a hydrocarbon liquid fuel - ( Cryogenic H2 O2 ? You do NOT want to go there to that far too advanced/difficult technology ).
