===Road Network===
Bus lines operate the multiple routes... (TBA)
Many cars in the nation run on biofuel, making Floptropica hold the record for most percentage of traffic using biofuel engines. There are also some EVs, although they are not common outside of CVM as nearly all electric car recharge stations are in Floptopia. The government has pushed hard for biofuel, making electric vehicles fall behind. Although this is not a bad thing as biofuel engines do not need to be made brand new like electric engines are, a regular car can get modified to support biofuel; as a consequence of this, the second-hand market for cars has boomed as citizens buy cheap cars and then modify their engines to support the clean fuel.

The Floptropica Railway operates Floptropica Metroline, a high-speed train network that connects 9 stations throughout the island. The service provides fast travel between main spots, meant as a complement to the other public transportations systems that cover an even more local areas (neighbourhoods and streets versus the trains covering inter-city traffic). The waggons operate using electric power so they do not emmit any greenhouse gases.
