Different colors for buses, trains, lines

[DK115]

I have seen some flashes of it, I think, but is it possible to give buses a different color then the 'normal' blue? For example per line?
Can also the line itself shown on the map, differ in color (like in CXXL)?

And the same questions for trains?

Can a metro line be (partly) above ground? And if yes, the same question for the metro?

And at last, if so, do you know video's where this is shown?

Yes its possible to colour every public transport line, just pick the colour you want. Also in the overview map the colour gets changed. It was shown yesterday in the paradox interactive stream.

 

[TotalyMoo]

Yes

Yup just saw it in Kane Heart's Let's Play It is a slider like paint so you can make Bright Pink Buses/Trains if you so desire.

was the "Yes" for all 3 questions - specially for this one:

"Can a metro line be (partly) above ground? And if yes, the same question for the metro?"

 

[McWrisk]

I expect no at launch. However once tunnels come out soon I expect that answer to change to be a resounding yes. Altohugh we will need specific above ground stations. I feel that the current stations are too large right now, however I expect a station building mod out quickly after release.

Metros can't go above ground at launch, trains can't go underground

A great little feature would be to allow custom audio files be applied to different stations, train lines and other buildings.

"Welcome to New Providence Station, serving the Yellow and Black Lines"

"Boston Metro reminds you.. etc.

That could be really great for immersion.

Thanks. Missed that stream. I will look it up in some video.

Found some; It is probably the modify line button.
