  1. I always tend to start cities with mass transit systems (typically a bus system). I put a bus lane between two oneway streets and place a stop every 5-10 tiles or so. If the line becomes overcrowded and congested, I would upgrade it a light rail line. The bus lane saves the space for the light rail so I wouldn't have to destory any buildings. As the city grows in size (and more roads are being congested), I would eventually phase out the bus lines and create more light rail and subway lines.
  2. Right click on the Mac??

    If I can remember, I believe apple + click makes a right click. If that doesn't work, try the control and option keys.
  3. NetworkAddon (October 2005) for Mac

    Go to: NetworkAddonMod, then double click on Modfiles. There should be a folder inside that called LEFT_HAND_VERSIONS_ONLY_Additional_Plugin_Files . If you delete this folder, I believe that it will change the design back to US/European.
  4. The Foreign Language Game

    English: I am going to eat a sandwich. Chinese (pronounciation using the roman alphabet- pinyin): wo qu chi yi ge san ming zhi. Translate: To be or not to be, that is the question.

  6. Light Rail

    Date: 10/3/2005 6:06:15 PM Author: halo_lover LOL San Francisco didn't repaint the SEPTA cars they bought? OMG that's hilarious.quote> Muni, in the last few years has been buying PCC cars from around the country, and the world for the F Market line, a historic streetcar route. I believe Muni kept the original livery of SEPTA to show where the car was from. There are some streetcars from Boston that have the Boston Elevated symbol on the side, and same with the Milan trams; the Italian commercials and logos are still on the car. Here's a picture of the Newark subway (NJ Transit streetcar) in San Francisco: http://world.nycsubway.org/perl/show?16107 The monorail idea for rapid transit in London is very interesting. I'm not a big fan of elevated trains as it can block views and it could be hard getting through some streets and might not be able to take the most direct path to get from A to B, but it is a cheaper alternative to the cross rail line, which requires a lot of underground tunnels
  7. Light Rail

    I also think that the tension of the wires pushes the pantograph down. In the San Francisco, the pantographs go very low in the Market Street tunnel. Here's a picture at the Church Street Station.
