Timbia enjoys a vast if not very efficient road network, with most minor settlements at least having one paved road loading to the major networks. Roads are not always well maintained however, and they get more treacherous the further one gets into the mountains. Rail connections are also available, with most major hubs being connected by long range trains in some way or another, a handful of mountain tunnels even exist to cross between the East and Western part of the country, with only trains being allowed through. Motorists have to either go through the mountains or board a car-carrying train, which will drive the cars through. | Timbia enjoys a vast if not very efficient road network, with most minor settlements at least having one paved road loading to the major networks.

Timbia's road network was built on the backs of inmate-laborers throughout the sixties, seventies and eighties. Political prisoners of the old regime were generally used as cheap laborers, and through their effort Timbia was able to afford the paved road network the country has today. This has led to issues with maintaining the roads however, with the new government only slowly gaining the capacity to maintain all the roads properly. As a result, voluntary inmate labor programs still exist to help with roadside maintenance. | Timbia's road network was built on the backs of inmate-laborers throughout the sixties, seventies and eighties.

To compensate for the sometimes questionable quality of road travel, domestic air travel is widespread. Domestic flights amount for a large portion of Timbia's east-west travel each year, and even the remotest mountain community tends to have some sort of access to air travel, be it fixed or rotary wing. Timbia has a wealth of airlines that fight for profit between Timbia's more remote communities, with the country domestically producing the right light aircraft for the job. Timbia's islandic nature has led to seaplanes being a common mode of transportation, with both small and somewhat larger amphibian aircraft existing to fly between the mainland and the multiple islands that lie within Timbia's reach. | |||
