"Train station to get new train station in southwest parking lot"

Okay I have a really innovative idea here. It's wild, but hear me out: Let's use the freshly renovated train station... as the train station

SB 79 does not apply to Big Thunder Mountain Railroad at Disneyland. Please stop wasting my time with such foolish inquiries.

Also, farebox revenue is your only revenue in this game so if your system design isn't full-tilt ridership focused you automatically lose. Fun thought exercise but not how it works in a real-world political and geographic landscape. Gotta have a ridership/coverage balance to keep everyone happy

I tend to be less of a fantasy map person and more of a rearranging current service within existing constraints person but what the heck, I can let loose and recreate the Interurban or somethin'

okay people yes I bought the subway game you can stop asking

career mode starts you with $3B combined ops/capital/construction and I'm just like... my job is bus, that kind of planning money doesn't feel real 😭

Current balance: $3.00B to expend on train operations, train purchases, and construction

It is October 2028. The Seattle Mariners and Detroit Tigers are still playing the divisional round playoff game that began in 2025. The rest of the MLB decided to continue on without them and start a whole new league.

A friend just rode it today, it's real. I saw the media releases, but wanted to verify the service actually existed before amplifying the coverage as their online presence does not inspire much confidence.

No tracking or new signage as of now. Will keep an eye out for updates.

So... surprise, tunnel service is back and in regular operation starting today. A private operator picked up the route. Fare is $15 each way, cash or credit – see website for timetables.

You know what's best about this? Now that we have multi-year, seemingly stable support for our existing transit with no reliance on rescue funds, our Appropriations subcommittees can finally stop focusing on crisis aversion and start planning for real investment. I'm excited for next year.

The funding is for use statewide but possibly! Believe the $65M will be application based
