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.

-'''Karolian-Ardispherians''' are [[Ardisphere|Ardispherians]] of [[Karolia|Karolian]] descent. They have had a significant role as an immigrant group in the Ardisphere from the earliest colonial period, and today they form a minority of about 1.5% of the country's total population, although there are many more Ardispherians (perhaps more than 9%) who can claim at least one Karolian ancestor, given the very long history the group has had in the region and the significant mixing that is inevitable over time.

+= Organizational Structure =
-Since Karolia only lies less than a thousand kilometers to the east of the Ardisphere, beyond Arnolein across the Gulf of X, trading boats from that country first showed presence in the [[Bahía Negra]] and the southern islands area very early, in the 1400s. Karolia's main national product was wool and woollen clothes at that time, so this is what the goods were initially. The Karolians took back gold and silver (the Karolian word for the Ardisphere means 'land of riches') and later animal furs and other exotic goods, including tea and coffee which the [[Ardispherian First Peoples|Ardispherian natives]] ([[Albalongan Civilization|Albalongans]], [[Altazorian Civilization|Altazorians]] and others) had already been cultivating in the pre-colonial era. Happily, slavery was almost never practised, unlike the Castellanese practices of the period. Perhaps this is why even today there is an odd cultural alliance of sorts between Karolian-Ardispherians and Native Ardispherians.

-The main area for Karolian colonisation was around the [[Departamento del Sur (DS)|Departamento del Sur]], focused in two areas: [[Isla Cabo Caroliano]] and the [[Au River Valley]].

-The Karolians arrived with a fortress named [[Kepplinne Castle|Kepplinne]] being founded on Isla Cabo Caroliano in 1491. Despite the fact that the [[Ingerland|Ingerish]] had competing interests in the area, a Karolian town grew up around the fortress over the next century, while the fortress changed hands several times between Ingerish and Karolian control. Although a large number of Ingerish colonists continued arriving, after the [[Treaty of Santiago del Faro]] ceded Ingerish claims in 1619, formally forcing the Ingerish out of the region, Kepplinne was under exclusive Karolian control until 1704, when the territory was finally surrendered to the more established colony of [[Nuevo Castellán]]. For most of that last period, the island was the sole remaining Karolian possession in the country. Afterwards, most of the traders disappeared, leaving only the most established settlers, who gradually became more absorbed into the Castellanese and subsequently Ardispherian culture. There is still a small but intensely idiosyncratic population of Karolians in the city of El Cabo today, but the main surviving remains are the higher genetic rates of blonde and orange hair in the area, the many place names, and the 'special relationship' between the two countries today.

-The Au River Valley saw a significant influx of settlers of Karolian Románš origin. In their small boats, they "leapfrogged" the Castellanese colonies along the coast, who had already established towns like [[Onírica, DS|Onírica]] and [[Palmeras Grises|Santa María (modern Palmeras Grises)]], venturing up the river delta to settle the fertile alluvial plains upstream. The modern name "Au" is just a corruption, under Altazorian influence, of the Románš word "rau," meaning "river." Thus "Rio Au" really means "river river."
+==== Yellow and Black Lines ====
-The Karolians called their colony, from the start, very simply "Rau." Although originally less substantial than the island settlements, and was never a formal colony of Karolia like on the coast, because of the stratetic importance of the latter as opposed the relative obscurity of the river valley, in modern times the Karolians in the river valley retain much more of their Karolian character, including many towns with majority Románš-speaking populations.

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.
-Karolians themselves brought two different linguistic strains with them when settling in the Ardisphere, the [[Karolian language]] proper, but also the Karolian [[Románš language]]. Perhaps because of its evident historical relationship and similarity to Castellanese, Románš has played an outsized role among Karolians in the Ardisphere, relative to the role played in its country of origin. Most Karolian-Ardispherians who are not culturally assimilated to the dominant Castellanese language speak Románš rather than Karolian, especially the Karolian agricultural communities scattered through the Au River Valley. The exception are those Karolians on Isla Cabo Caroliano, who seem to take pride in confounding visitors with their archaic-sounding Karolian.
