There is an inter-community bus system, also operated by the ATA that, in the summer, connects the disparate communities to Le Havre. In the winter, road buses are replaced by off-road buses and the frequency is cut dramatically.

Because of the hyper-urbanized environment and the plethora of public transit options, as well as a strong network of intercity and highspeed rail, car ownership is at about 57%. Equatorial Ostiecia has 741,584km of roads, 548,739km are improved. There are 4 levels of road ownership types in Equatorial Ostiecia:

*Military priority highways: large, intercity multi lane, controlled access roads. These roads are prioritized for the use of military and government assets during a state of emergency. When not in a state of emergency anyone can use them, but they are tolled fairly heavily as they are the most direct and highest speed limit roads. They are regulated and maintained by the Department of Transportation of Equatorial Ostiecia.

*Federal truck routes: large, intercity multi lane, controlled access roads. Designed in the 1970s to relieve traffic during [[Operation Kipling]]. Many of these roads used to be Military Priority Roads but we're relegated to civilian administration. Anyone can used these roads but it is designed to keep trucks off of smaller roads in favor of personal vehicles. They are regulated by the [[Burgoignesc Security Forces|Defense-Wide Joint Defense Activities Command]] and maintained by the Department of Transportation of Equatorial Ostiecia.

*Provincial highways: Provincial highways are regulated by provincial Departments of Transportation. They may be controlled access or not controlled access.

*Otherwise regulated routes

Most of the improved roads are long haul routes connecting the sparse settlements. Almost all roads are owned and maintained by the provincial transit authority The Transportation Authority of Argaea ([[Burgoignesc clanguage|Burg]]:''Authoritat de Transportacion de Argaea (ATA)''), with the exception of the roads within Le Havre which has its own transportation authority who maintain the roads within the city limits of Le Havre.
