Oyashima uses [[Track gauges around the world|Standard gauge]], 1,435 mm (4 ft 8+1⁄2 in) as most of its rail infrastructure has been under the auspices of [[Burgundie]] and its sphere of influence in the [[Audonia]], who all use that rail gauge. It uses rail extensively across is mainland provinces both for passenger and commercial service. During [[Operation | Oyashima uses [[Track gauges around the world|Standard gauge]], 1,435 mm (4 ft 8+1⁄2 in) as most of its rail infrastructure has been under the auspices of [[Burgundie]] and its sphere of influence in the [[Audonia]], who all use that rail gauge. It uses rail extensively across is mainland provinces both for passenger and commercial service. During [[Operation Kipling]], [[Burgundie]] began to invest heavily in Oyashima's rail sector, especially in standardizing the gauges. With the advent of [[containerzation]] and the preexisting trade relationship with [[Burgundie]], Oyashima became an {{wp|transhipment}} powerhouse in [[Dolong]], superceding all nations in the region except [[Daxia]]. Due to its high use, Oyashima has more {{wp|double track|double}} and {{wp|triple track}}/sqkm than any other nation in [[Audonia]]. With this wealth Oyashima has invested heavily in high speed trains, known colloquially as ''bullet trains'' to move passengers rapidly around the country. Inter-city and freigh rail service is less dense in the islands, but light rail and tram service exists in some capacity in almost every city over 100,000 residents. | ||
Oyashima has national expressway system that serves as its primary interstate motor vehicle transit system. It was built in the 1970s to accommodate the influx of foreign trade and rapid increase in demand for local and regional mineral exploitation during [[Operation Kipling]]. As such these interstates are designed around trade hubs, mining sites, and connecting to national neighbors with resource extraction sites and connect these places to key coastal harbors. Since its completion in the 1990s it has been criticized for prioritizing freight over passengers and for not adapting to the changing landscape as, after [[Operation Kipling]] ended in the mid 1980s, many of the nodes that the interstate connected became obsolete or of lesser importance. This has been blamed for a lower per capita car ownership and long distance car-travel for Oyashimanes versus others in [[Audonia]], since rail travel is often more direct for individual travelers. | Oyashima has national expressway system that serves as its primary interstate motor vehicle transit system.
