What kind of transport do YOU personally think that inhabitants use?

Go Wild!

I think that workers in the city use some kind of fossil fuel taxis to get around.

Well we do know they use Ball cars, Feeco Trains, Vykker air ships, Mine Cars, and Blimps. I would like to see some kind of underground subway system going through the cities. You know like the Feeco trains but smaller and more cylendrical or cylinder shape. Have you ever been to Subway? I mean the resturant. Well on the wall there are pictures that show what subways looked like at beginning of the last centary. They look like sideways giant pepsi cans that went through similar shaped tunnel. Everytime I see those pictures I am alweys thinking this would be a good Oddworld transport in the big cities.

Ball Cars are the things in Abe's Oddysee that would transport you from Zulag to Zulag.

They were shaped like a ball and would run along a track found above the ball car. It was suspended, and could easily turn around 360 degrees if desired.

Oh, I called them Sideways Elevator Thingies. Hmm... the Great Glass Elevator... coincidence? I think so!

Well I know that the native Mudokons would use those vertical platforms, and they probably had their own Elum stashed away somewhere. Transportation portals could be used for long distances as well, but they would need the ability to chant.

I still reckon nothing beats those air tunnels/shafts/wells! Imagine using one of those inside your house (especially the ones that shoot you four screens upward)!?!

Great Glass Elevator.... Willy Wonka and the Choc. Factory???
