I'm not sure, I think I remember there being some official word on some of it... does anyone have anything?
"Humans have repaired a few hovercraft, but the majority of Zion's "lift capacity" now comes from hoverbarges. Constructed mainly of parts salvaged from the destroyed hovercraft fleet, the hoverbarge is a new type of craft that can carry a large load of redpills to broadcast depth.
Previously such craft were impractical, because the large tunnels to the surface were under strict surveillance by the Machines. Now, however, these enormous vehicles are free to rise slowly up the broadest shafts to perform mass-insertions of redpills into the Matrix.
In addition, most of Zion's unarmed transport hovercraft were not present at the docks during the battle. Normally such craft would never be deployed so close to the surface, but with the Truce removing the threat of Sentinel attack, Zion can now use unarmed transports for Matrix operations.
Some have claimed that there are also permanent broadcast stations being built in tunnels near the surface, where Zionites can enter the equivalent of the Machines' pods for long-duration operations in the Matrix. Such claims are no more than rumors at this point, though."
