An NYC with a similar build out to real life NYC but fixing some of the issues with the current system.
Issues Fixed:
More consistent stop spacing in Upper Manhattan and a little wider spacing, at every 10 blocks (57th-60th, 63rd-66th, 76th, 86th, 96th, 106th, 116th, 125th).
PATH Uptown Tubes connect to the Steinway tubes to go into Queens rather than dead-ending at Herald Square. They also run straight along Christopher St. to the Hudson and are a through running station at Hoboken.
