As opposed to the standard JMC Elevators (for travelling short distances between levels of Red Knight), the Xpress Lifts are designed specifically for long journeys up and down the massive starship.
Labelled in both English and Esperanto, an Xpress Lift is the size of a room, and comes complete with several comfortable chairs, a water cooler, a fully stocked magazine rack, and a food vending machine.
In-lift video entertainment is available, or travellers can simply enjoy the piped muzak.
The automated hostess will direct users to the Black Box emergency pack, in case anything goes wrong, which includes facilities for recording last will and testament, as well as a supply of cyanide pills.
The standard JMC Elevators (or lifts) come in all shapes and sizes, and have their own basic A.I. operating system.
The final public transport system on The Red Knight is the metro (or shuttle train), a rapid transit-style type of transportation even faster than the Xpress Lifts.
There are several routes spanning the length and breadth of The Red Knight, wrapping inside and outside the craft, each one names after a London Underground route.
Crewmen, even the captain, are required to pay a fare to use the metro.
