Getting around Leonida: fast travel and transit in GTA 6

Rockstar has already shown that getting around Leonida will not just mean driving a stolen car everywhere: GTA 6 confirms buses, trains, trams, taxis, and its own rideshare app, RydeMe. That’s not the only detail about getting around — there’s also the Scooter Bros vehicle-delivery service and a dedicated underwater breath meter. But a fair amount of unofficial map-size numbers and subway rumors circulate around this topic too, so this guide is careful to separate what’s confirmed, what’s press-reported, and what’s purely fan speculation.

Confirmed fast-travel options

Based on VICE’s coverage, which draws on a Rockstar North press preview from July 2026, GTA 6 will offer several ways to get from point A to point B without manually driving across all of Leonida:

Worth noting separately: in water scenes, swimming now has its own meter — a lung-capacity gauge that replaces the usual stamina bar while the character is underwater, and it can be leveled up over time. It’s not a transit option in the strict sense, but it’s part of the same batch of new movement and travel details VICE reported on.

Scooter Bros: what GTA 5 didn’t have

Scooter Bros deserves its own callout. It’s a delivery service that brings the player’s personal vehicle directly to wherever they currently are — no need to walk back or hail a taxi to the garage. VICE reports that GTA 5’s story mode had no equivalent of this: there was no way to have a car brought to you, wherever you happened to be. That doesn’t mean GTA 5 had no way to summon a vehicle at all (multiplayer has similar mechanics), but this specific form — delivering the player’s own car to an arbitrary point on the map within the story game — is new for the series.

The elevated railway in the La Perle area

In official Trailer 2 footage (released May 6, 2025), a rail line with a blue-and-silver livery is visible running elevated above a road in an area unofficially referred to as La Perle. That’s confirmed by Rockstar’s own footage — a primary source, even if not a written studio statement. The fan wiki GTA Fandom labels this area “Vice-Dale County” and describes the train’s livery as “Hitachi Rail-styled,” but both of those specific labels — the county name and the livery brand — are fan-wiki interpretation, not Rockstar’s own terminology. The core fact of an elevated train being visible in official trailer footage isn’t in question; the names and branding attached to it are.

What’s NOT confirmed yet: the subway and the exact map size

This is worth spelling out carefully, since these two topics carry the most confusion between official facts, press estimates, and fan math.

A fully operational, hijackable subway or monorail. The idea that GTA 6 will have a complete, drivable subway or monorail system is a rumor traced back to fan sites — a speculative piece from GTA Intel about the subway, and a rumor piece from Sportskeeda. It has not been confirmed either by Rockstar directly or by press coverage at VICE’s level. The elevated train seen in the trailer is a separate, confirmed fact; whether that system is in any way player-operable is not.

Map size. Rockstar has never published an official figure for GTA 6’s map size. What does exist is a set of press-reported (not official) estimates from VICE: the overall map is reportedly roughly twice the size of GTA 5’s and about three times RDR2’s playable area; Vice City alone is reportedly about twice the size of Los Santos; and Vice City plus its surrounding developed area is reportedly about 11 times larger than GTA 5’s urban region. All of these numbers carry the “reportedly” qualifier — they are VICE’s reporting, not a Rockstar statement.

On top of that, there are separate fan-community map-size estimates — figures like roughly 118-132 square miles, or a 2.4-2.7x multiplier, drawn from fan analysis of trailer footage and older leaks (including Deltia’s Gaming). These are unofficial fan estimates, disputed even among fan sources, and they don’t line up with VICE’s own reported numbers. We’re deliberately not presenting any single one of these figures as settled — that level of precision simply doesn’t exist in any official source right now.

Route geography. Whether trains, buses, and trams run across all of Leonida or the transit network is limited to Vice City has not been officially detailed. We won’t guess at routes or stations here — that information just doesn’t exist yet.

For a broader look at which vehicle types are already officially confirmed for GTA 6 — including personal cars, boats, and helicopters — see our separate GTA 6 vehicle types guide. And for what Rockstar has actually shown of Leonida’s map itself — regions and locations, without the fan guesswork — see the GTA 6 map guide.

Frequently asked questions

Which fast-travel options are confirmed for GTA 6? According to VICE, these are buses, trains, trams, taxis, and RydeMe, GTA 6’s rideshare app and Uber equivalent.

What is Scooter Bros, and how is it different from GTA 5? Scooter Bros is a delivery service that brings the player’s personal vehicle directly to their current location. VICE reports that GTA 5’s story mode never let players summon a car to their location this way.

Will GTA 6 have a fully operational subway or monorail you can drive? No, that is not confirmed. The idea of a fully operational, hijackable subway system comes from fan sites (GTA Intel, Sportskeeda) and remains rumor-tier, not an official fact.

How big is the GTA 6 map? There is no official figure from Rockstar. VICE reports (labeled as “reportedly,” not official) that the overall map is roughly twice the size of GTA 5’s and about three times RDR2’s playable area; Vice City alone is reportedly about twice the size of Los Santos, and Vice City plus its surrounding developed area is reportedly about 11 times larger than GTA 5’s urban region. These are press-reported figures, not an official Rockstar number.

Do trains and buses run across all of Leonida, or just within Vice City? This has not been officially detailed yet. We are not going to guess — there is currently no information on the transit network’s geographic coverage.

What to watch next

The confirmed list of ways to get around — buses, trains, trams, taxis, and RydeMe — already suggests Rockstar is taking urban mobility in Leonida seriously, not just personal vehicles. But we’re deliberately leaving the network’s exact scale, route geography, and the subway’s status as open questions — there are no invented stations or routes in this piece. We’ll update this guide as soon as Rockstar or press-verified sources add something new.
