Plateau City is divided into 18 sections called Quarters. These quarters are geographic in nature only, except for the determining of taxes and the electing of public officials.

There is some argument as to whether the island containing The Cathedral of Truth is to be listed as a quarter or not. Officially it is not a quarter, in that it does not pay taxes nor vote to elect officials.

There are two taxi services that serve the citizens of Plateau City. Both are headquartered in The Hindquarter, but can be accessed and used throughtout the city.

Rod's Reliable Transportation is based in the Hindquarter, but magical whistles to call a "Rod" are available in taverns and stores throughout the city. Simply blow it and your ride will arrive within 10 minutes. Rod guarantees safe delivery to anywhere within the city inside of 30 minutes. Specific methods of transportation vary, but all are flashy and ruinously expensive. Methods include flying carpets, gryphons, hippogriffs, and teleportation. Visitors are advised not to blow a whistle unless they can afford to spend at least 20 gold just to get across town.

Cheaper, slower, and more scenic are the taxi barges of Leipa Landlubber. Her service follows the Endless River and uses it as a mode of transportation. If you travel to the river, you are usually within sight of a taxibarge. Simply call or wave it over and you have cheap, safe transportation to anywhere that touches the river. She also has private taxibarges available as well as romantic couples' tours to Moonlight Island and Endless Falls.
