			=== Satori Guided Vehicles ===

			Inside [[Satori]] continent, a few vehicles can be seen, walking with constant speed along the central road. They use a VRC train engine that is following road segments instead of railway ''Guide''. These vehicles are owned by the same company that has majority of roaming trains on Heterocera.

	Tests show that the vast majority of runaway trains will enter the main line. If they are going East, they will move to Bhaga and return. If they are heading East, there is a 40% possibility that in Crumbi they will go North and will enter the branch that connects Pawpaw with Pavonia. Over 95% (if not all) trains heading to Pavonia will enter Pavonia Pass, a parcel that does not allow objects to enter, so they will stop at parcel border and will be auto-returned. If a train does not go North at Crumbi junction, it will continue along main line all the way to Tuliptree, where it will turn back. Tests show that less then 10% of all runaway trains endd up in other places then Pavonia. The chance that a runaway train will enter other rails is very small. This might happen if a resident changes a switch before the train comes or if a train passed to a branch line just before the runaway train.

This might happen if a resident changes a switch before the train comes or if a train passed to a branch line just before the runaway train.

			Many roaming trains don't actually chose 'Guide' from 'Alternaite Guide', this means they are hard to be controlled at switches. Also, some trains scan at a too large distance for guides. As a result, they enter on branch lines when not expected. These kind of trains can be found blocked at entrance to [[Achemon Railway]], where they cannot move on the extreme speed restrictions and declivity found there.

	~~== Nowhere Bus Line ==~~

	~~These~~ vehicles ~~can be found in many places of [[Sansara]], but also on [[Heterocera]] and on other continents. They~~ are not moving to a certain destination, they can take unpredictable turns to any direction and sometimes they can end out of the road. They also have a self-rezz device. If they stay too much time parked in a place, they seem to keep on rezzing another bus before autoreturn time. Passengers are really going 'nowhere' with these vehicles, since they chose the way to go at random. They interact with vehicles or passengers on the way and they make a lot of smoke when parked. The name comes from the fact that they have marked 'NOWHERE' exactly where destination should be written. Passengers have the power to make vehicle to turn around.

	== Right Side Cars ==		== Roaming Cars ==

			There are a few vehicles moving on the roads of Linden-owned continents that are not owned by SLTA. The vast majority are not tour vehicles, while some of them are. The number of these vehicles varies from continent to continent and from road to road. A high number of roaming cars was found in [[Satori]] and in some parts of [[Sansara]].

			They can be included in 3 subcategories by their behavior:

			=== Right Side Cars ===

			These vehicles are moving along the right side of the road, many times even outside of road surface. They seem to have a parcel border sensor and follow the right border of road parcel, but sometimes it looks like they detect the prims that actually make the road.

			=== Road Center Cars ===

			Unlike the previous group, these cars follow the center of road and sometimes they move to left and right. Most probably, they have parcel border sensor and the script trying to get them on the center of the road.

			=== Roaming Cars ===

	These vehicles ~~are moving along the right side of the road, many times even outside of road surface. They seem to have~~ a ~~parcel border sensor and follow the right border~~ of ~~road parcel, not the prims that actually compose~~ the road~~. They are not phantom and when they meet an avatar~~, they ~~will whisper ''Sorry~~''.		These vehicles don't follow a specific part of the road, they can be named 'drunk cars'.

	== ~~Road Center Cars~~ ==		== Roaming Air Vehicles ==

	~~Unlike the previous group~~, ~~these cars follow the center of road~~, ~~but many times they move to left and right~~. ~~Most probably, they have parcel border sensor and when they see~~ the ~~end~~ of ~~land~~, ~~they switch in the opposite direction~~.		On rare occasions, automated air vehicles can be seen on protected land. Usually they fly at higher altitude, so their presence cannot be always noted. ''Second Life Geography'' team found two airplanes on the East coast of [[Heterocera]]. If others exist, their presence has not been noted.

	~~== Freebie Roaming Cars ==~~

	These kind of vehicles can be found on all Linden-owned continents, except [[Premium Continents]] and [[Zindra]]. They are made of a freebie car with an autodrive script. They will, most often, follow the road, but on some cases they might get lost and enter unwanted parcels.

	~~Under this name~~ are the vehicles ~~released in traffic by AneMarie Oleander (also known as AneMarie Otoole)~~. There are bases (that look like gas stations) on main continents, where these vehicles are released into traffic. On small continents, like [[Sharp Continent]], probably they are rezzed manually. These vehicles are roaming, not following a specific destination. Their number varies from one at a day to 10 at an hour, depending on route. They can also be released by manual command. There are more SLTA vehicles then [[Yava Script Pods]], but they have less passengers because they don't offer a guided tour.		These are the AnnMarie vehicles. Main article - [[Second Life Transport Authority]]

	In some parts, these vehicles are seen often, but in other places, like the inner atoll of [[Heterocera]] or on [[Gaeta 5]], they are too rare. In [[Bay City]], they are unexistent, like they are not seen on unconnected roads of Gaeta 5, [[Gaeta 1]], [[~~Corsica]] or~~ [~~[Nautilus~~]]~~. By design, there is a huge variety of SLTA vehicles: tanks, trucks, garbage cars, cars, micro vehicles and not only. Majority of them are freebies, some of them are from the Arcadia Asylum Library.~~

	SLTA is the largest transport company by the number of vehicles, but is the second by land coverage, since these vehicles are found only on road, while the Yava Script Pods are seen also on sea, air and off-road.

	~~There has been some criticism on the forums about SLTA vehicles, including an online petition to stop them enter protected land. On the other hand, there are people enjoying them.~~

	~~About 60% to 70% of all roaming continental vehicles belong to SLTA.~~
