sorry it's super messy also i think i may have some major network gaps accidentally but I like the idea of cross river ferry and also historic train bridge. The city interchange is also a big well preserved historic building.

This is great, I hadn’t even thought of adding in ferries, I love this system

I am going to redo the metro design activity with more areas and Libraries, plus this time, I want to see what you guys come up with to connect the neighborhoods.

i felt like it was mandatory to have a chicago styled loop for the downtown area 😭
also a fancy little monorail that gets a good view of the park and river while connecting students to the greater downtown area and central station

didnt include stops or intercity rail, mostly because i feel a bit more context would be needed to plan those.

This is so fucking pretty

pink represents the heavy rail route taken by local trains to nearby towns an neighbouring cities as well as long distance intercity/high speed rail. all other lines are tram or metro style with a mix of street running in places, as well as tunnels, elevated track, dedicated rights of way along abandoned railways, and sharing alignments with heavy rail. the green line is entirely underground. well integrated frequent busses not shown.

This is pretty cool
