=== Kursbuch ===
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.


===List of Ice Roads and Railroads===
=== Kursbuchstrecke-Syntax ===
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.
 
VB currently operates on 3 ice roads and is rebuilding/constructing 2 railroads and 2 ice roads.
 
*KBS '''[[Mossow-Neverwinter Iceway|VBI 1101]] (Mossau–Neverwinter Iceway):''' 3 km long, 9 stations. (Opened 31st Dec 2019/1st Jan 2020; formerly ''ETI 1101'')
*KBS '''[[Mossow-New Snork Iceway|VBI 1102]] (Mossau–New Snork Iceway):''' 400 m long, 4 stations. (Opened February 2020; formerly ''ETI 1102'')

==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.
