The world of GangCity spans five cities. Traveling is a core mechanic: it opens up trade, story missions and new opportunities. The smart player knows exactly where and when to be to profit from the differences between cities.
Each city has its own economy and contacts. Travel costs differ per destination.
Traveling costs money and time: after departure, you're en route for a while before arriving in the new city. Faster transportation from the shop shortens that travel time. While traveling you can't perform any actions in a city, so plan your movements wisely.
If you own a property or villa in the city where you're staying, it gives you extra protection against a murder attempt from that city. So where you are also matters for your safety.
