Simply the best transport tycoon game out there. Being able to play anywhere on the world or even the entire real world is great, and with every update it get's better and better, and the dev doesn't stop, he keeps working on it, and keeps working on it.

a good passenger transportation game with advanced game mechanics that allow you to micromanage almost anything you want with your networks. Only downsides currently in my opinion are that there are no custom generated maps which also means the cities you server wont grow so all the transportation demand at the start of the game is all you'll ever have for your networks. It would also be nice if a function to automatically couple and decouple multiple units in a station was available to allow a more efficient usage of highly branching networks.

as someone who is literally obsessed with trains, making the T half decent has given me a great distraction for my classes. would recommend, though i would love it if there was more boston rolling stock in base game, let alone in mods. i really do enjoy the realism of this game though, with scheduling and all, allowing you to build your personal desires for a transit network that will never be realized due to real life politics. tldr; good game trains are fun.
