InterCity (Zwangzug)

The InterCity is the monorail system that connects the largest cities in Zwangzug. The system is completely run by the statewide government, as opposed to the Regional Express (where statewide and district governments work together), and those operated solely by the districts.

InterCity trains are the fastest, and tend to cover the longest distances, in the public system. InterCity Express trains are faster than regular InterCity trains, and used for more important routes.

There are 33 InterCity "lines" (pairs of cities joined by IC trains), and 23 InterCity Express Lines. Some trains, however, visit cities joined by consecutive lines to form "connecting lines". There are five such in the IC system (known as IC A through IC E, confusingly in the last case) and two among ICE trains, ICE* and ICE**.

''Disclaimer: the relative distances should be correct relative to each other, but the actual distances between these cities is uncertain. Zwangzugian geography is not incredibly precise. The length in miles might well be 1.84 times the values displayed. Or, it might not be. Also as long as we're disclaiming, please, please stay off IC A.''
