MetroDreamin' | US Metropolitan Public Transport Revamp [WIP]

Setting things up

created 29 weeks ago

updated 13 hours ago

This is the United States Metropolitan Public Transport Revamp (US MPTR). Going through states alphabetically...

to prove that we need custom groups inside of groups.
This is also partially to redeem the trash maps I made when I started MD.

Cities won't necessarily be done in alphabetical order because there might be a few that I deicde to do after all of the major cities. All systems will be realistic to 2025 (excluding NIMBYs), so some systems may have just one line. In general, I will be adding only what a city needs/can manage in 2025 or in the near future. For example, if a city does not have buses, then I will add buses and nothing more. But if a city has massive suburban sprawl and not enough high-capacity transit to go along with it, then I will add a more extensive system. It will not look like topfc's Chicagoland Transit Conglomerate map, but it works in a more realistic way, in my opinion.

Rules to select cities(for myself):
- No edge cities or suburbs (unless it grew to be a significantly independent center), e.g. Orange County, CA; Dadeland, FL; Campbell, CA
- The city or metropolitan area must have at least 30,000 people (excluding Alaska).
- The city must be objectively lacking in public transit for its size and density (e.g. Phoenix, Milwaukee, New Haven), hence why I'm not doing cities like San Francisco, Boston, and New York City.
- The city will be excluded if it has been revamped completely by me before. I will list them below:
   - San Diego, CA
   - Boston, MA
   - Lowell, MA
   - Charlotte, NC
   - Portsmouth, NH
   - Newark, NJ
   - Richmond, VA
- The city should not have been commonly revamped because I do not want to waste time on something other people have done before. I will list these below:
   - Los Angeles, CA
   
- The above rules may be ignored for cultural significance, but it is unlikely.

Current: Eureka, CA

Queue: Colorado Springs, CO; Fort Collins, CO; Grand Junction, CO

NOTES:
Most real-world operational systems exist as is in this revamp, so I will not remake them. I will state below if I decided to get rid of something:
