Culture - Transportation

In Haven, cars are rare. It is difficult to import vehicles, and modern ones do not work well within the magical wards anyway. If a vehicle is ever spotted, it is most likely something very old, like a Model T or Model A. Vehicles with computers or digital engines will not function in Haven.

The main method of transportation within the city is through the use of horse-drawn carriages, although most shifters, werecreatures, and vampires find it faster to travel on foot. Other methods of transportation include bicycles, scooters, motorized bikes (the older styles), and trolleys. There is an underground subway that runs the length of the city, as well.

For venturing outside of the city, if a character wishes to do it above ground, it must be done on foot or fin. Haven is land-locked on three sides, and butts against the Thames River on its fourth side. There are no paved roads above ground that lead to Haven. The entrance to Haven that exists on the river Thames is disguised behind a massive outcropping of boulders, making it difficult for river-faring vessels to approach.

Underground, the Tube is the only method of motorized transportation to and from the outside world. It runs from London to Haven and back, although sometimes the magic wards wreak havoc on its tech systems, and it gets shut down. Outside of Haven, the station at which the Tube picks up and drops off Haven residents is hidden behind a ward that appears to be a blocked off, abandoned section of the subway system, preventing most from wanting to enter.
