Transportation
The location of the Hubs are strategic to the transportation needs of The World. The four Hubs were designated based on detailed time and travel studies. The location of these four Hubs limits travel time to 15 minutes to any island. Each of the Hubs will be connected to the mainland through the varying modes of public and private vehicles. The approximate travel times from the mainland to the Hubs is between four and fifteen minutes.
