3.0 Banlieue Public Transport Authority (Teaser)

The Banlieue Public Transport Authority is one of the successes in this run down city. Since its foundation in 1977, an extensive subway system was created which corresponds with the previously existing commuter rail and buses. There are about 100 subway or elevated rail stations with an overall capacity of 3 million passengers per day (which is not reached quite yet). They effectively funnel the workforce from the suburbs into the city which relieved congestion from the poorly planned freeway system. Since I'm not quite done with my subway map, I'll show you a thumb of what it looks like right now. In the next update we'll look at the subway a little closer.

Here a piece of the map in original size. The whole map is right now 2000*2000px. As you might see, there are still some adjustments to be done. 

Hope you liked the teaser and come by for the next update :D

@TekindusT: thanks for stopping by again. concerning the bridge I have to say that it's a new construction and the busiest bridge in the whole metro area (some 8000 vehicles says the traffic info thing). I think it makes a nice contrast to all this devastation. I will, however, consider your advice for upcoming bridge projects..thanks! :D
@DCMetro34: Thanks..I'm glad you like it. I hope you like the upcoming updates since I took most of my inspiration from the DC Metro system :D
@ Trabbuco: Don't be jealus my friend, it's all about learning from other people.
@Jamonbread: thanks a lot, I hope you stop by for further updates! :D
@Keep-Up: man, I loved DC..especially the contrasting architecture (Georgetown <> Crystal City) :D
it actually inspired me a lot for the CJ.
@IrvingTwoSmokes: Thanks a lot..and I hope I can keep it up as well :D
@ Paul5: Thanks a loooot! 
@soccerderek: it depends on which seawalls you use. Your terrain has to be even (i use the god mode tool for the big stuff and then the mayor mode level tool). Turn the grid on and to get it perfectly even, use single street tiles. Take a look at the omnibus, there are some good tutorials about that ;)
@ dimipol006: Thanks a lot. I hope I can keep the promises :D

That does not look like something that is found in a CJ. It looks like it should be found on a wall of a subway station! That is incredible! I will be watching this CJ closely! How did you make it?

Still going strong! Awesome metro system! It looks very realistic. This has to be one of the best CJs I've ever seen! Keep up the good work!

And I thought I went crazy with my transportation maps. But that CJ is just fantastic. Keep the good work up! Maybe you can give us some help on my transportation maps lol.
