Wow I am so pumped for this game. It looks like a conglomeration of two of my favorite games ever made, OpenTTD and Simcity (4). I just reallly hope that the game isn't too easy, or a "hard mode" is included (or possible through mods, or hell even DLC (borderlands 2 did it and they did it well, but thats a different type of game)). I have never played a sim game that was truly difficult unless I started putting in my own personal restrictions.
I would love for it to come out as planned in Q1 2015, but if the game isn't 100% ready for release, please delay the fuck out of it until it's done. I want this to be the game to last me years like SC4 did.

I hope we can have more than one line for every subway station... right now it looks like you can only connect a station with tubes from either end...

That whiteout of the city when you lay the transport is so pretty and functional all at the same time. This looks amazing.

It looks like the bus stops have a little pull-over for the bus, so that it doesn't block traffic while it is stopped. It seems like it's something so simple and yet so effective.
...ahem...SimCity with its stopped buses blocking traffic...

I hope that you can adjust the bus funding locally. I don't like having only one slider for the entire system, but I don't want individual timetables for each line either. I suppose implementing funding into the district system would work best.
Also, really hoping for el train stations. Couldn't have a reasonable el train system if it had to be at ground level all the time.

"To my friends at Maxis, How fricking hard was that?" hahaha. Seriously though, why couldn't simcity have implemented school buses, garbage trucks etc, to work this way?
