Travel Encounter question

[atomicfloozy]

The Travel Encounter in the new edition of 5150: New Beginnings has a section that is confusing me (which sadly isn't hard to do).

Resolving a Travel Encounter has these bullets:

• If traveling in NHC, count how many areas you must travel through to get there.
• Roll 1d6 and read the result as rolled. Pass 1d6 = Travel Encounter. Pass 0d6 = No Travel Encounter.

Do you roll against your Rep or the number of areas traveling through?

My Rep 5 character is traveling through 2 areas on a motorcycle, so when I roll the 1d6, do I pass on 5 or less - or do I pass on 2 or less?

I ask because this is slightly different from the Travel Encounter in Urban Renewal.

Yep, roll versus the Areas because...

• The number you rolled is the Area the Travel Encounter occurred, counting the Area you start in as 1.
  
  Hope this helps.

Thanks Ed! I think I played it that way before, but just couldn't remember & got confused by the wording.
