You sure can do it in ruby but first you have to decide what ruby have
to do for you: take a sheet of paper and write down the differents
steps each Vehicle has to go throught in order to reach the second
city. I'm sure you will see more clearly what you have to do next to
implement each step.

Hint: it have to do with probability distributions and you will most
certainly need the metho 'rand'
