| Within [[Mega-Primus]]' ever creeping forest of high rising structures littering the skyline, its primary mode of low cost travel involves the mass transit People Tube system that propels hapless travelers around the city at high speeds without requiring any vessels of conveyance. It's a free public service and you will not be restricted from accessing the people tubes if you happen to find yourself in [[Transtellar]]'s black books.

| For those less inclined to travel the old fashioned way, the grav road system allows for reasonable access around the city in more conventional low flying hovercars. Like the ancient mass-transit system of trains, these vehicles are only able to travel along the roads and can not go beyond them.

| As with all transport vehicles in the city, road vehicles have built in auto pilots that allow navigation to anywhere in the city as long as there is a road. They also feature remote manual control overrides for owners of the vehicles to take control of the vehicle. Should the need ever arise, the manual control allows the remote owner to perform a variety of actions such as altering the acceleration, overtaking a slow vehicle, manually firing its on-board weapon systemsor even making a U-turn without the need of an intersection.

| [[Image:Apoc_turbobike_icon.png]] [[Blazer Turbo Bike (Apocalypse)|Blazer Turbo Bike]] : Blazer Turbo Bikes are built simply for the transportation of one person. Their only means of expansion involve a single small-engine upgrade. They are commonly used by civilian organizations for private or recreational use, but are generally not suitable for a broad range of X-COM's needs. However, should X-COM fall into hard times and require a means of transport that's faster than the people tubes, this is it. | | [[Image:Apoc_turbobike_icon.png]] [[Blazer Turbo Bike (Apocalypse)|Blazer Turbo Bike]]<br> |

| [[Image:Apoc_stormdog_icon.png]] [[Stormdog (Apocalypse)|Stormdog]] : The Stormdog is a basic road hovercar that resembles a slightly stripped down version of the police road cruisers. In function, it is utilised in very much the same way as a police cruiser. It allows for seating of four agents and a rear mounted anti air gun turret or ground launched missile array. Though it can mount weapons to combat aircraft, it's far from being an ideal combat vehicle, and is more suited towards for transporting small squads or portions of squads to alien infested sites around the city. However, in a pinch, it can handle a few of the smaller UFO types if it is able to intercept them in their flight path. | | ==Civilian Vehicles== |

| [[Image:Apoc_wolfhound_icon.png]] [[Wolfhound APC (Apocalypse)|Wolfhound APC]] : The Wolfhound is a grav-road dependent hovering armoured personnel carrier (APC) that has similar weapon capabilities as the Stormdog. It seats twice as many agents and offers two standard sized upgrade module slots that allow the APC's role to to be expanded. On purchase, the APC comes standard with a cargo module that is sometimes a bit sticky and may need a few tries to remove. The APC is an ideal secondary or tertiary troop transport for getting secondary squads around the city during a terror alert with multiple alien drop sites. Because it's limited to the road, it cannot reach off-road sites such as crashed UFOs, but that's where the air-bound carriers come into play. | | ==Law Enforcement== |

| [[Image:Apoc_griffon_icon.png]] [[Griffon AFV (Apocalypse)|Griffon AFV]] : The Griffon is the only ground vehicle that's designed purely for combat. It is a giant tank that is always issued with one of the most powerful of the conventional weapons available to X-COM, the [[Rumble Cannon (Apocalypse)|Rumble Cannon]]. The tank's main cannon can be substituted for a long range ground launched missile launcher or an even longer range plasma cannon, or even smaller weapons if desired. The tank also comes with an optional medium accuracy modification slot for improved target acquisition of stationary targets. It must be stressed however that the tank's large tracks are only for show and it is grav-road bound.
