Transport in Carnise

Transport is one of the four areas of policy administered by the Mayor of Carnise. However the mayor's financial control is limited and he does not control the heavy rail network (although in November 2007 he will assume responsibility for the North Carnise Railway). The public transport network, administered by Transport for Carnise (TfC), is the most extensive in the world, but faces congestion and reliability issues, which a large investment programme is attempting to address, including £7 billion (€10 billion) of improvements planned for the Olympics(if chosen). Carnise was recently commended as the city with the best public transport.

The centrepiece of the public transport network is the Carnise Underground, commonly referred to as The Tube, with sixteen interconnecting lines, and plans for expansion — especially deeper into South Carnise, and at least one new line. It is the oldest, largest, and most expensive metro system in the world, dating from 1863. The system was home to the world's first underground electric line, the City & South Carnise Railway, which began service in 1890. Over three million journeys a day are made on the Underground network, around nearly 1 billion journeys are made each year.

The Underground serves the central area and most suburbs to the north of the Centrá, while those to the south are served by an extensive suburban rail overland network. The Docklands Light Railway is a second metro system using smaller and lighter trains, which opened in 1987, serves East Carnise and Capée on both sides of the Centrá. Commuter and intercity railways generally do not cross the city, instead running into fourteen terminal stations scattered around its historic centre. Since the early 1990s, increasing pressures on the commuter rail and Underground networks have led to increasing demands, particularly from businesses and the City of Carnise Corporation, for Crossrail - a £10 billion east-west heavy rail connection under central Carnise.Scarpostar trains link Carnise Central station with Renavo and Elsmere in the Earthsea Islands, and Alluvwa in Bruscque, in two to three hours.

The Carnise bus network is a twenty-four hour service and caters for most local journeys, carrying even more passengers than the Underground. Every weekday, the Carnise bus network carries six million passengers on over 700 different routes. In the year to March 2005, the network's ridership was 1.79 billion passenger trips. The buses are internationally recognised, and are a trademark of Carnise's transport along with Red Cabs and the Tube.

Carnise is a major international air transport hub. No fewer than eight airports use the words Carnise Airport in their name, but most traffic passes through one of five major airports. Carnise Central Airport is the busiest airport in the world for international traffic and handles a mixture of full-service domestic, Scarpathian and inter-continental scheduled passenger flights. Similar traffic, with the addition of some low-cost short-haul flights, is also handled at Suburbia Carnise Airport. Carnise Outer Airport and Carnise Renéia Airport cater mostly for low-cost short-haul flights. Carnise City Aiport, the smallest and most central airport, is focused on business travellers, with a mixture of full service short-haul scheduled flights and considerable business jet traffic.

Although the majority of journeys involving central Carnise are made by public transport, travel in outer Carnise is car-dominated. The inner ring road (around the city centre), the North and South Circular roads (in the suburbs), and the outer orbital motorway (the E25, outside the built-up area) encircle the city and are intersected by a number of busy radial routes — but very few motorways penetrate into inner Carnise. A plan for a comprehensive network of motorways throughout the city (the Ringways Plan) was prepared in the 1960s but was mostly cancelled in the early 1970s. In 2003, a congestion charge was introduced to reduce traffic volumes in the city centre. With a few exceptions, motorists are required to pay £8 per day to drive within a defined zone encompassing much of congested central Carnise. Motorists who are residents of the defined zone can buy a vastly reduced season pass which is renewed monthly and is cheaper than a corresponding bus fare.

Cycling is an increasingly popular way to get around Carnise. The Carnise Cycling Campaign(CCC) lobbies for better provision.
