Transport in Bepistan

Bepistan has a moderately sized transportation system consisting of road, rail, air, and marine infrastructure, all managed by the Bepistan Ministry of Transportation.

Roads

Northern section of Route 1

Bepistan has an expansive network of roads, albeit located in only one province, Shell Bank, but plans for roads in other provinces are underway. Although none of the roads in Bepistan are paved, their frequent use as hiking trails makes them well conditioned for bicycles and larger motor vehicles (provided enough horizontal clearance), although patches of soft, muddy ground are to still be expected in wetter seasons. The current three longest and most commonly used roads are designated as official highways, whereas smaller ones are left unnamed.

All major highways are assigned a national route number in the order the highway was declared official, and an internal designation consisting of the official province code in conjunction with a number. While highways are often named after the area they run through, smaller roads are often left unnamed.

Marine transit in the Bepistani Reich is fulfilled by the Bepistan Ferry. The ferry provides seasonal passenger and cargo service to the Bepistani salt marsh area, operating only from late spring to early fall as the surrounding ocean waters it travels through drop to very low temperatures in winter months.

As of January 2022 the Bepistani Ferry operates three distinct routes and one shuttle, servicing 10 different stops along the shore of Shell Bank, White Island, Plumb Beach, and Bepistani claims in Jamaica bay.
