  Normal Theme or Satellite Overlay? Also what do you think of our system, I think I could tweak it slightly to give us a better start but happy where we ended the video. Giveaway in the description will be open for 1-2 weeks.

  I know the game is called subway builder, but it would be cool to have buses.

  Transit is not the problem, Leadership always is.

  I'm so excited to finally see LA in the vanilla game! I no longer live there, but it is a dream to give my hometown the proper metro it deserves.

  I’d revise the name for the 405/Sepulveda station as those two run essentially parallel with each other for miles. So that station name doesn’t give any indication where along the 405 and Sepulveda it’s actually located. Especially since this line runs along Santa Monica at this station, but along Wilshire on the eastern portion. <br><br>Another small detail for the Highland/Wilshire station - Highland doesn’t need “Ave” in the name of the station. I’d just say “Wilshire and Highland” and when describing that intersection. Similar to the real-life Hollywood/Highland station. <br><br>Love the video! Excited for this series. I’ve been waiting for them to finally add LA!

  Yay a new series on a criminally underrated game. <br><br>This is going to be an awesome series, i hope the game is optimised so that late game doesn&apos;t become a slug fest

  Nice video. LA is the perfect showcase for this game, so good that it is available in vanilla. Hope that the game and mods will start to improve more now it is on steam.

  New fan, cool video! Just moved back home to Dallas after 14 years in L.A., watched in fascination then laughed when you picked Irolo as a thoroughfare 😆. Glad you figured out Vermont is the move. Wilshire/Vermont is a big transfer point and the city’s been working to add a better rapid bus line up and down Vermont between rail lines.

  I noticed you&apos;re maxing out station lengths - even in NYC, the subway platforms are about 600 feet long, less than half the length of the 1500&apos; platforms in your heavy rail system. 1500 feet is over a quarter mile long! 10 car stations would provide plenty of headroom in terms of capacity for LA. That said, in SubwayBuilder, a station that&apos;s 3x as long only costs 20% more (which I think is kind of crazy lol) so you&apos;re not really incentivized to be judicious with the platform lengths within the constraints of the game.
