The Carraway Island Public Transit Museum is an interactive museum based in the City of Adustelan. It focuses on the various transit systems of Carraway Island, primarily the Adustelan Metro and its predecessor the Adustelan Rapid Transit System, but also various bus and roadway services. The main museum building is located in a high-rise skyscraper that opened in 1974 in City Center at the corner of Myrtle Avenue and Rarity Street, which was the tallest building in the city until 1983 and is still the seventh-tallest building in the City of Adustelan by pinnacle height today. The museum is open from 6 am to 11 pm every day of the year except Christmas and New Year's Eve.

The main museum building was added to the Adustelan Register of Historic Places on January 3, 2014.

Current Exhibits

  • A replica of the former interior of Agnes Street-Marigold Subway Station
  • A 1971 school bus manufactured by the Adustelan Roy K. Davis Bus Company
  • A replica of the entirety of O'Charmel Mall Subway Station (New in 2014)

Many of the original A/C Line stations will be integrated into the museum in 2014 due to the 2014 Adustelan Metro Renovation Project, which will update every station on the A and C lines.

Adustelan Rapid Transit System Tours

The Museum also conducts tours of several abandoned underground tunnels of the former Adustelan Rapid Transit System. These adventure tours are not mentioned on the museum's website or in any brochure, and must be requested in person to a museum employee. Due to heavy demand, people often need to make reservations weeks in advance, and tours are only reserved for those who are members of the museum. As a result, few people have seen the southernmost abandoned transit tunnels after the closure of the system in 1966. The tunnels exist in fragmented segments, and it is currently illegal and virtually impossible to reach the tunnels from street level as of 2014 other than through the museum.

Tour prices are at the discretion of the requested employee, but typically average around $150 per person for a 3 hour tour.

Development in Minecraft

The base of the structure was begun in November 2013 by KrisSlobman01, and the old Agnes Street-Marigold Station was integrated into it by December 2013. However, it did not achieve its skyscraper status until January 3, 2014, when the old O'Charmel Mall Subway Station was added to the museum's top level.
