Laying and visualising bus and metro routes can get confusing when they're all the same colour, especially buses where routes share the same section of road.

I'd love to see each bus and metro route get a unique colour to make visualisation even better. They should all be bright/happy colours! I'm thinking like the classic metro map design used almost ubiquitously the world over as in here:

OP don't feel too bad, took me a few days to figure out I could do this too and changed the entire game for me!

There are some really awesome transport mods available just now as well - I'm using this one which enhances the UI for lines http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=408875519&searchtext=

Also, there is a mod that automatically randomly colours lines instead of having to manually do it: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=409865621&searchtext=

This is only the 2nd or 3rd week of launch, can only imagine some of the cool mods that will come with time.
