Transport in Yamatai



Transportation in Yamatai is modern and high developed. Yamatai's transport sector is well-known for its punctuality and energy-efficiency, using less energy per person than other highly-developed countries, due to a large share of rail transport and low overall travel distances. Transport in Yamatai is also very expensive compared to other states, due to high tolls and taxes primarily aimed at automobile transportation.

Yamatai's spending on roads has been large, with the main means of transport comprising of 1.4 million kilometres of paved road in a robust highway network. Yamatai has left-hand traffic. A single network of high-speed, divided, limited-access expressways connect major cities in the Naichi archipelago, with a separate highway network on Hinomoto. These highways are operated by toll-collecting enterprises, with the exception of the Hinoan highway network, which is state-owned by the Government of Hinomoto.

The Yamataian rail system is partially privatised, with numerous private companies competing in regional and local passenger transportation markets. Often, strategies of these enterprises contain real estate or department stores next to stations. The major intercity and high-speed Shinkyuko passenger train lines are mostly operated by four partially-privatised companies under the state-owned Yamatai National Railway Group. There also are some local railway services operated by provincial governments. Yamataian trains are well known for their safety and punctuality.
