VB currently operates on 3 ice roads and is rebuilding/constructing 2 railroads and 2 ice roads. Within the nation of Casey there is barely any competition regarding infrastructure, so the company has laid back regarding modernizations of ice roads, which led to many ice roads being in a poor condition and players being barely able to use them with no interruptions. However, in September 2021, VB has published a plan to modernize all old ice roads, introduce proper maintenance and make detailed plans of all rail- and ice roads.

The latter involves going through the tracks and noting down the kilometers since the start point every 200 meters or at major junctions. This method is known as ''Kilometrierung''.


===List of Ice Roads and Railroads===
=== Kursbuch ===
Routes are numbered after the ''Kursbuchstrecke''-System (abbreviated as KBS). Every railroad and iceroad has a unique number and can be identified using this number.
Every month VB publishes the Kursbuch, which shows all connections and individual information about thte routes. These routes are numbered after the KBS-System and are known as Kursbuchstrecke.


VB currently operates on 3 ice roads and is rebuilding/constructing 2 railroads and 2 ice roads.

==KBS Syntax==
To show how the KBS Syntax works, we are gonna analyse ''VBI 3103.'' It's meaning is Inter-Continental Elevated Ice Road Number 3 operated by VB.
