SpeedBus

speedBus is a bus rapid transit network operated by Human Transit Corporation (HTC) in the City of Royal Plains in the Free State of Torbury, connecting the boroughs of the city.

speedBus features dedicated roadways reserved for its specially branded buses. The bulk part of the roadway segments allow travel up to 100 km/h, enabling true express service across the city. Much of the reserved roadways is built as an elevated road over existing major thoroughfares. Stations are designed to give the system a premium experience, equipped with indoor heated waiting areas and in-station fare machines. Under the HTC modernisation initiative, most stations were retrofitted in 2021, with much of the constructions expected to finish by mid-2022.

History
Into the new millennium of the 21st century, the City of Royal Plains had emerged into the fourth most populous metro area in the Free State of Torbury, and the metro area was composed of the core city (Royal Plains) and a handful of peripheries (Walton, Mallichester, Neville Centre, Heppwick and Appleby). The connections between these towns were done so by intercity mTrain, which deemed inconvenient due to its low frequency. speedBus was made a viable solution to the problem as a bus rapid transit system.

The first line, and the most used line, the Central Line was opened on 2 April 2007. Following the success of the Central Line, the London Line was opened on 2 April 2010. The newest line, Mallichester Line, was opened on 19 July 2011.

In 2012, there were talks of replacing the existing bus rapid transit system with a light rail network, similar to ssPress in Sepulchral City. This was put on hold indefinitely due to high costs.

Routes and Stations
As of January 2022, there are three routes operating in the system.
 * 1 Central Line
 * 2 London Line
 * 3 Mallichester Line
