Public Transportation

Public Transit is highly developed in Zealandia, and many of the transportation systems found throughout the country and in cities are among the best in the world, comprable to those in Europe, China and Japan. Although private ownership of automobiles is common and the norm in Zealandia, millions rely on public transportation every day, and often choose the highly efficient and effective transit system over using their cars. Many Zealandians use their cars for work (manual labor i.e. vans and trucks) or for longer journeys to areas where trains do not reach.
Every city in Zealandia with a population exceeding 50,000 is rewuired by law to provide a system of public transportation, usually a bus system in smaller cities. In many of Zealandia's largest cities, many forms of public transit exist, including buses, above ground light rail, underground subways, electric train-style streetcars and electric buses.
Public Transportation is largely owned and operated by a government corporation called KiwiRail. KiwiRail operates all train and bus lines that run between cities over long distances. City and metropolitan transit authorities handle local busing and train transit with financial support from the government through KiwiRail. National train lines and bus lines operate as a part of KiwiRail.

Due to the government mandate on public transportation, public busing is by far the most common form of public transportation provided due to its low cost. Bus systems are present in almost every city that meets this requirement, totaling in number of roughly 20 cities. Zealandia gets most of its public transit buses from America, so many resemble the public buses present in the United States. Additionally, Moynaq, Vaalburg, Killarney, Randers and Kiel have electric bus systems powered by overhead wires.

Light Rail & Trolley systems are another form of public transit in Zealandia. These electric trains are present in only the largest cities in the country. Moynaq, Auckland and Vaalburg have above ground commuter rail systems that serve commuters and workers within the city. Additionally, Moynaq, Auckland, Vaalburg, Killarney, and Vrysdahl have light commuter rail systems similar to trolleys in America and Europe. These are widely used by the population to their cheapness and efficiency. These rail lines are much more effective than sitting in traffic and are readily accessible in many parts of these metropolitan areas.

== Trains ==
Trains (classified as passenger rail systems operating in-between cities and metropolitan areas) are a major form of transportation in Zealandia, and are the most affordable and efficient way to travel longer distances in the country. There are 2 major high-speed rail lines in Zealandia, and several other standard-speed rail lines throughout the country as well. These are effective ways of travelling long distances through the country at fair and cheap prices.
KiwiRail also operates cross-country bus lines similar to Greyhound buses in America. These buses run from city to city and are affordable means of transit for shorter trips.
