# Districts and Travel

The world is split into seven districts. Each district has its own market, boss race, local identity, travel exits, and strategic role.

## Districts

| ID | District        | Identity                                              | Route Notes                                                  |

## Travel Types

Normal travel follows district exits. It is cheaper, but route-limited and exposed to bust risk.

Fast Travel lets you jump to any district for a higher fee. In current game rules it bypasses adjacency and the normal bust roll, so it is used when time, margin, or safety matters more than cost.

## Bust Risk

Travel can trigger a bust. If you are carrying enough product, a bust can confiscate part of your WEED and DIRT. Bust Protection reduces that risk.

The real cost of travel is not only the fee. It is:

```
travel cost + bust risk + raid exposure + time + lost market opportunity
```

## Route Planning

Before moving, check:

* current district buy price
* target district sell price
* how much product you can carry
* whether a production job is reserving capacity
* whether you need Bust Protection or Safe House time
* whether raiders are active in the target district

## Strategic Principle

Small moves teach the map. Large moves should be protected.

When a run has real margin, pay for the cover that keeps it alive.
