It's a big island, and in the course of a campaign set in Olympus, the characters will be scrambling all over it. There are many ways to get around inside the arcologies and between the blocks. Most means are relatively inexpensive and easy to acquire.
Car and Motorcycle
Olympus does have large stretches of highways and wide roads to drive upon. The roads are well maintained and they allow for the use of wired electronic cars. Traveling from one end of the island to the other takes about 4 hours of driving. All the same, cars are relatively scarce in Olympus, and traffic jams infrequent. Most people either use public transportation or use bicycles.
Public Transit
Olympus has a large, accurately timed, and cheap metro transit system that runs to all of the beaches and several arcologies in each of the Blocks. Travel by electro-magnetic super-conductive monorail is also available. You can get from one side of the island to the other in 30 minutes by this method. Some of these line become as crowded as 2oth century Tokyo subways however and passengers must be pretty thick skinned and able to deal with the press of a heavy crowd. The upside is that the transit is completely free and runs on time with amazing clockwork regularity.
Helicopter & AV
Every arcology block possesses at least four helipads. These are government operated, and therefore air transportation is generally limited to dignitaries, military personal, corporate attaches, and other VIPs.
