Transportation in Yarphei

Yarphese transportation has changed significantly since its formation. It is widely varied between water transportation and land transportation. Additionally, underground transportation has gained popularity due to Yarphei's position as a possible target of bombing, especially during World War III. Rail transportation is far less common, although some historic railways, such as that going through Bangkok, have been revitalized. While these forms of transportation are better for longer distances, short-term transportation is usually taken care of with bicycles. The Yarphese government has supported bicycles as a method of green transportation, enjoyment, and commuting. Yarphei is also known for its efficient metro and public transport systems.

Roads
Roads in Yarphei are now very developed thoroughly and efficiently. Before Yarphese takeover, the land between Bangkok and Johor Baharu contained few freeways, and was mostly composed of undeveloped highways, as with underdeveloped regions of southern Cambodia. This is because most of those countries' resources were spent on more prominent cities: Melaka and Kuala Lumpur for Malaysia, Phnom Penh and Battambang for Cambodia, and the Mae Nam region of Thailand. When new importance was brought to those regions, it was necessary to ensure that roads were equally developed throughout. Only through complete unification could Yarphei prosper, and a missing road would cause the new nation to be dismembered.

In April 2002, Phung Leu-yang ordained the Sing-Sai Campaign (Xị́-Sậệi Groech), which intended several things. By mid-June 2010, an expansive road system would be introduced into Yarphei. It would feature two main roads and several arterial roads. The two roads would be the inner freeway (Y-290) and the outer freeway (Y-505). The inner freeway would consist of a long road from Singapore, along the coast of the Gulf of Thailand all the way to Saigon. The road tends to follow to coastline as precisely as possible. In addition, there is a corresponding underground road which shortens the distance from Saigon to Singapore. The underground road follows the coastal route most of the way, but it makes a few notable diversions, such as cutting across the Bay of Bangkok. The outer freeway runs from Singapore, along the western coast of Johor, close to the inland border of peninsular Yarphei, on the west coast of the Isthmus of Kra, along the inland border with Myanmar, merging with the inner freeway for a little while, along the inland border with Thailand, north of Bangkok, before merging with a former freeway of Cambodia, which would continue to Saigon. The road is entirely underground, so as to make sure the entire country would have access to resources in case of disaster. Arterial roads run between the two main roads, although these are relatively few. These are mostly over the ground, with the exception of the Y-550, which runs to Tranh Chup-yar City.

All roads of the Sing-Sai Campaign, even those that previously existed before the campaign, are made of high-quality asphalt and decorated with native plants on the side. Underground roads, for the most part, use amplified natural light to provide plants and a pleasing view. As boredom often forms in the tunnels, light shows tend to be common, especially at night. Illusions and projections make it look like the light shows are taking place in front of the driver, even in the daytime. In addition, speeds of up to 100 mph are permitted in sections of the tunnel. The paving features high-quality imported basalt. Every fifty miles, there is a gas station and a rest stop, and every five miles in an emergency station. All freeways have lanes in the center specifically for trucks and transport. There are weigh stations every 200 miles along each road, where trucks are required to slow down and be weighed, without having to pull aside.

Former smaller roads were also refitted as part of the campaign. However, the changes were rather aesthetic, involving decorations in the middle and sides of the roads. In addition, there was a great deal of work switching the roads to the left side of the road. Most of Yarphei generally drove on the left side of the road, especially in Malay and Thai areas. On 8 March 2003, Vietnamese and Khmer provinces switched sides of the road, from 2:00 AM to 2:15 AM.
