Rapid Transport

Rapid Transport

Rapid Transport, also known as RT, is the fast travel system in CIT. It lets players teleport between major locations by using transport markers or the /rt command when eligible.

How to use rapid transport

Need	Use	Notes

Click a destination once to see the fare and nearest destination marker name beside Warp, then click Warp, or double-click its icon to travel. The price is at the bottom left of the Rapid Transportation Map. Travel is free below 10 playtime hours. Otherwise the fare is floor(direct 3D distance / 0.45); house destinations add 10% for each owned house above 9. The fare does not increase with playtime.

A typical trip costs about $1,500 to $4,000. Some trips cost more than $10,000; the highest fare seen was about $21,800.

Official destinations use square icons. Green houses are your own, blue marks your group house, and orange marks shared locations such as squad, other-group, and Law Farm locations.

How Rapid Transport works

Rapid Transport is used to travel quickly between important places.

You can use it by:

• standing in a Rapid Transport marker
• using /rt if you meet the requirement

Rapid Transport markers are shown by:

• an orange loop icon on the minimap
• an orange loop icon on F11

These markers are found near important places such as:

• hospitals
• prison release points
• other main buildings

Use

Using a marker

To use a Rapid Transport marker:

• find a marker with the orange loop icon
• stand in it
• choose your destination

Using /rt

You can also use:

/rt

This only works if you are:

• Donator Level 2 or higher
• a new player under 15 hours of playtime

To bind it to a key, use /bind <key> rt, without a slash before rt. A bind does not change access requirements.

Restrictions

Rapid Transport cannot be used when:

• you are wanted
• you are dead, in a vehicle, or in a dimension that blocks the action
• you are a Gangster or GIU officer turfing, or within 30 seconds after turfing

Hit targets cannot use Rapid Transport markers. Donator Level 2 access does not bypass wanted status or job restrictions.

There are also these destination restrictions:

• criminals cannot teleport to SF - Police Department or LS - Police Department, and law cannot teleport to LS - Criminal Villa

Rapid Transport during jobs

Most Civilian jobs allow Rapid Transport, but it can cancel the mission, remove cargo or passengers, or block work for a short time. News Reporter cannot use it at all, including through /rt.

The jobs with Rapid Transport restrictions are listed in the job restriction tables below.

Escaping with Rapid Transport

Using Rapid Transport to escape an in game situation is not punishable by itself.

This includes:

• /rt
• similar travel systems

If something about it can be abused to escape unfairly:

• report it as a bug
