Tips for choosing a city

Due to the nature of running a subway system off of real life statistics, some cities will be harder than others. Cities with less population and multiple centers will often be harder, due to the fact that more lines will need to be built to connect all parts of the city.

Some of the easiest cities are:

1. New York: Due to its large, condensed population, where a subway system is already established in the real world, this map is going to be the easiest to start your playthrough on.
2. Honolulu: Since the island is small, the population is compacted in a fairly small area and little lines need to be created.

Some of the hardest cities are:

1. Houston: The population of the city stretches out over the entire map, meaning that money has to be managed well and lines have to be built with care to even get a sliver of the population to ride your subway system.

However, the most important factor is what you want to build, no matter how easy or hard. For this playthrough, it will be in San Francisco due to its relative simplicity and ease of expansion.

Normal or sandbox?

Currently, there are two modes: normal and sandbox. Sandbox is akin to Minecraft's creative mode, where you have unlimited money. If you want to experience the hard side of money management and economy, while increasing the reward factor for a successful line, normal mode is best for you. If you want to make a sprawling subway system without worrying about real-life costs, sandbox mode is for you.

This playthrough will be on normal mode, as this page will go over tips and tricks to manage money.
