Public Transport System

[Sotrax]

It won't, but more possibilitys wouldn't be bad.

Would love to see different rail system:
Trams/light rail
Underground / metro / elevated rail
Intercity rail
High Speed Rail systems.

Would love to be able to have different trains on different network at the same time.

High speed rail systems with such big maps and the possibility of connecting them to the outside would be a great adition.

I do hope there will be elevated rail that can be connected to a subway system. The area I grew up in had a somewhat extensive metro system, and where I lived there was quite some elevated rail, so I'd love to be able to recreate something like that.

SimCity 4's monorails were also pretty cool but having monorails isn't essential.

Yes, the A-train games had an excellent model of this where trains disappear off-map and then returns after a while with passengers.

Building a high speed train station with tracks running right through the city from one end of the map to another ( Japan style ) could be a cool end-game challenge and great reward with lot's of city vertical growth around the Central station if you can provide enough passenger exchanges to public transport within the city from nearby too.

Do you earn money from public transport?

I hope for many Pucplic transport systems:

Trams/light rail under or abouve the ground like in sc4
Undergroundmetro / elevated rail or like trains
Busses, Taxis , bikes

We should be able to build elevated rail lines on top of roads and, ideally over some structures. The entire point of elevated rail lines is that they can be built on top of existing road infrastructure, so that grade-separated rapid transit service can be extended to a neighborhood WITHOUT having to demolish half the neighborhood for the right of way. Downside is that no-one really wants to live adjascent to elevated rail lines, although noise pollution drops off very sharply. For gameplay purposes, elevated rail would fill a niche between cheap buses (and non-grade-separated trams) and very expensive underground subways, just as it does in real life.
