🚐 Getting around the city
Walk, Danfo, Keke, Okada, Cab or your own car — with real fares, traffic and travel time.
Street rides
Fares are distance-based from the actual entrances, not a flat city fee. Weather, the elected city policy and this week’s economic event can change the quote. The place card shows the final price before departure.
A journey is a visible real-time activity. You can watch it, cancel before completion for no charge, and finish on arrival. The city clock continues at normal speed.
| Ride | Base | Per km | Minutes / km | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 🚶 Walk | Free | — | 12 | Roads and paths only; costs a little energy |
| 🚐 Danfo | ₦100 | ₦5 | 3.0 | Traffic applies |
| 🛺 Keke | ₦100 | ₦5 | 3.4 | Traffic applies |
| 🏍️ Okada | ₦150 | ₦8 | 2.0 | Fastest street ride; traffic applies |
| 🚕 Cab | ₦300 | ₦15 | 2.3 | Most comfortable; traffic applies |
| 🚗 Your car | — | ₦6 fuel | 2.1 | Requires a car; condition and breakdowns apply |
Your own car
Buy a car in Buy → Cars. Fuel is charged per kilometre and there is no base fare. Condition drops by 8 points every three game days; below 40% a trip can break down, adding time and a repair charge. A service restores condition to 100% for ₦120 plus ₦3 per missing condition point.
Car insurance covers breakdowns and tickets. Without cover, an accident or ticket can cost three times as much. Owning a car also unlocks intercity driving.
Arriving and entering places
Arriving at a place does not automatically start an activity. Open the place card, choose an action, and check its price, duration and effects. Step inside when the place has an interior. Actions are limited by opening hours. Recipe minutes calculate effects; the live place timer waits one real second per configured minute, with a five-second minimum. The activity bar is the actual countdown and does not fast-forward the city clock.
If you choose an activity while elsewhere, the game can route you there with your selected ride, but planning the trip yourself is usually cheaper. Changing the map or opening a card does not teleport you or bypass an active activity.
On foot, the game routes you along the same road network you can click. A destination on grass or behind a building cannot be reached by cutting across the lawn; go back to a road or path first.
Intercity travel
World, immediately beside Map in the bottom bar, opens the world atlas. Select Lagos, Abuja, Accra or the retained Port Harcourt destination to preview its layout and travel options. Only Confirm departure starts a journey; the fare is charged on successful arrival. Closing the atlas preserves your current scene and activity.
