The sun's disk was like an icon of bronze in the yellow-grey sky.
'''Transportes Tarrasenses''' (also called simply ''TT'' or ''Los Trantar'') is the monopoly public transportation provider in [[Tárrases]]. It is a consortium including [[Caja Negra (bank)|Caja Negra]] (a local bank and venture capital firm), the [[Mahhal|Mahhalian]] company [[Jessitim Transport Services|Jessitim Transport Services, LTD.]] (which provides the engineering and operational expertise) and the Tarrasean government (which holds final decision-making authority).


The monarch's retinue gathered on the deck of the great long boat, and even the slaves abandoned their oars to peer out at the horizon. A great cry went up from several children, clutching at the cloaks of their parents. A tiny islet of rock lay to the boat's windward side, about 5 boat-lengths distant. This was not the cause of the children's surprise.
= Formation and History =


Nor was the cause of their amazement the unusually tall and gnarled red pine that perched on the island's summit precariously, like a hunting falcon about to take flight. The island, actually, was a familiar landmark, and it conveyed to the travelers that they had reached the mid-point of their journey along the treacherous coast from the channel at Tirello to the harbor at Hallapahhwnasatek, where Holobuseten, Monarch of Lyr, no doubt awaited them impatiently with her famous, intended betrayal churning in her breast.
= Organizational Structure =


Earlier, squalls of rain and wind had rocked the boat, and forced the sailors to lower the sail and resort to the slow progress with the oars.

A child, the young offspring of the royal Pommanuset, cried out again. "Something moves, there," she gasped.
== Buses ==


Several soldiers, with their short, sturdy bows half-at-ready, stooped closer to the boat's railing and peered at the islet, with its brooding, angular tree.
=== Bus Routes ===


"Tis just the wind," the captain of the guard muttered, showing her uncertainty with a frown.

The island's rock itself seemed to unfurl like a tattered battle-banner lifted in defiance by a mortally wounded enemy.
== Trams (Light Rail) ==


People screamed. Soldiers lifted their bows uncertainly, but loosed no arrows.
The tram "Gray line" (really a light rail) was built in the 1990s.


The Monarch Hhenkiwlur did not flinch. "Ah, tis more than wind," she said, coldly.
A single tram line, 14.3 km in length, currently runs between the El Estoque ferry terminal (southwest) and the Serpiente Ascendente bus terminal (northeast).


The sea dragon was not small, as some bards would sing for a thousand years hence.
The line was originally built because Tárrases was trying to pivot to a more tourism-based economy, so it was an effort to connect the main international arrivals (cruise-ships, ferries and airport) with the main attractions, including the casino district (Juegos) and the old city (Viejo Tárrases). The system has proved popular however, with extensions having been added on both ends, from the original southern terminus at the cruise ship terminal and from the original northern terminus at the government complex.


The sea dragon's movement rasped and echoed across the suddenly smooth sea, like the whispering of angry old people. The soldiery's armor clinked loudly, as a quietness fell across the boat.  
A new branch line to the east is slated to be opened in 2017, with a subsequent realignment of the routes so that there will three routes, total.


The sea dragon's great, many-horned head, green and purple like a field of flowering radishes in sping sun, rose up until it was above the tree on the island. Its long neck swayed like a lanyard in stiff wind.
==== Gray Line ====


The Monarch Hhenkiwlur's sword rested comfortably in her cool hand, at ready. She faced the sea dragon.
The existing route (recently re-classified as "Gray Line" in anticipation of the new branches) has twenty stops, from northeast to southwest as follows:

Transportes Tarrasenses (also called simply TT or Los Trantar) is the monopoly public transportation provider in Tárrases. It is a consortium including Caja Negra (a local bank and venture capital firm), the Mahhalian company Jessitim Transport Services, LTD. (which provides the engineering and operational expertise) and the Tarrasean government (which holds final decision-making authority).

Trams (Light Rail)

The tram "Gray line" (really a light rail) was built in the 1990s.

A single tram line, 14.3 km in length, currently runs between the El Estoque ferry terminal (southwest) and the Serpiente Ascendente bus terminal (northeast).

The line was originally built because Tárrases was trying to pivot to a more tourism-based economy, so it was an effort to connect the main international arrivals (cruise-ships, ferries and airport) with the main attractions, including the casino district (Juegos) and the old city (Viejo Tárrases). The system has proved popular however, with extensions having been added on both ends, from the original southern terminus at the cruise ship terminal and from the original northern terminus at the government complex.

A new branch line to the east is slated to be opened in 2017, with a subsequent realignment of the routes so that there will three routes, total.

Gray Line

The existing route (recently re-classified as "Gray Line" in anticipation of the new branches) has twenty stops, from northeast to southwest as follows:

Yellow and Black Lines

The branch line is about 95% complete at this point. The new line extends to Arrozales (map) and will open in late 2017. It may later be extended further eastward.

The current plan is once the branch line opens, the system will be re-conceptualized into 3 separate lines, with Gray being the original "El Estoque <-> Serpiente" line, Yellow being "El Estoque <-> Arrozales" and Black being "Arrozales <-> Serpiente." The newly adopted TT logo (above right) already incorporates this concept into its design, where the 3 branches form a "T" - thus the logo is an abstraced map of the system.

Taxis

Both car taxis and van jitneys (shared taxis, locally called dinaleros, named for the old-time one-dinar fare typically charged) are all privately owned and operated, but dispatch is controlled by Transportes Tarrasenses through various dispatch offices, and a unified fare payment system exists that allows the use of the same electronic cashless cards as for buses, trams and ferries.

Ferries

Ferries are of course important in an island country with several populated outlying islands. Ferries are unified to the transport system both in terms of scheduling and fare structure, as well as payment methods accepted. Notably, free transfers are generally allowed between ferries and buses and trams.
