Will subways be able to go above ground

[Photonic210]

for example the new York subway can go above ground on to a elevated rail maybe this feature could be linked with the monorail DLC

I suppose it depends on how the metro is simulated? Will it have trains running around at intervals like busses? Or will it be like the over ground heavy railways where when a certain number of people get to a station a train 'spawns' and takes them.
Or will it just be like cars or individual agents, but where people travel there without congestion?

If you have an elevated or over ground metro then you'd have to put in trains that you can see, if they don't exist currently in the subway then they'd have to reprogram it.

From what I can remember reading, the subway feature is a completely separated feature from say, the roads or railway networks, meaning it would be difficult to merge both the railway and subway systems together as the systems are in no-way connected in the scripts. Of course I could be completely wrong.

I am pretty sure it don't, but it would be really nice if you could do that like in SimCity 4.

You know Americans.. they just have to be different.. changing letters in words.. pronouncing Aluminium wrong.. not using the metric system ect.

Let's just stick to the games definition of "Metro"

An Aussie telling people how to pronounce words??????? That's a laugh (No offense intended)

In Barcelona it's the Metro, whereas Subway is where you buy Sandwiches.

Back in London it's the London Underground, which as Jamie Lee Curtis pointed out is not actually a political movement.

In New York you can also buy sandwiches at Subway, but you're not allowed to eat them on the subway; a rule more honoured in the breach.

London and Paris do I believe.

Londoner's mostly call it the tube it goes above and below ground under the Thames the metropolitan line was the first part built that's why they call it the metro.

Speaking of SimCity, since the subway portion of SC2013 was modded into the game, I have even higher hopes for the modding community. You know, just in case the devs leave it to us.

And What if instead of using the subway, we mod the railway to make the train look more like a subway, add smaller stops, aerial stop, and underground stop ( when they add tunnel hoping soon after release ) It will be sort of a Metro, that uses the same track as conventionel train.
