# Overview

Calderon possesses one of the most advanced transportation systems in wolf society.

Designed to connect every district safely, efficiently, and affordably, the city's transportation network supports millions of daily journeys between homes, schools, businesses, hospitals, and public spaces.

Most citizens rely on public transportation for everyday travel, making private vehicles a convenience rather than a necessity.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

# History

Early Calderon consisted of narrow streets, walking paths, horse-drawn wagons, and canals connecting the harbor to inland neighborhoods.

As the city expanded, public transit became essential.

The creation of the **Moonbridge Transit Authority (MTA)** unified buses, railways, ferries, bridges, tunnels, and roadway maintenance under one organization.

Today the MTA operates one of the safest and most reliable transportation systems within wolf society.

The city's underground and elevated rail network.

Modern, clean, and efficient, the Metro connects every major district with trains arriving every few minutes throughout the day.

An extensive fleet of electric buses serves neighborhoods not directly connected to the Metro.

Routes operate from early morning until late at night.

### Harbor Ferries

Passenger ferries connect neighborhoods along Calderon's waterfront while also serving as a popular way to enjoy the city's skyline.
