Metro Master

Plan a metro network on real city maps and watch a city start to ride it. Population and travel are estimated from real map data. Residents choose between scooter, car, bus, walking, cycling and your metro by door-to-door time: a well-placed station fills up, while a line that wanders or runs too few trains loses riders to other lines or back to the road. BUILD • Place stations and draw lines on the map; extend, insert, move or remove stations • Automatic station names from local places and intersections, which you can rename • Heavy rail, medium capacity or light rail, with a choice of train length • Taiwanese cities can start a new plan with the existing national railway in one tap, plus high-speed rail in Taipei • Undo and redo OPERATE • Peak trains per line, off-peak as a percentage; headway follows from the trains and the round trip • Short-turn and express services, with expresses overtaking slower trains at passing stations • Too few trains leave riders on the platform; too many raise operating costs • Construction is free; finances are judged by the farebox ratio, fare revenue divided by running costs SIMULATION • Continuous time with morning and evening peaks • Riding habits build up, and daily ridership grows with them • Follow any train or passenger across the network • The same network always gets the same official result STATS • Figures for the city, districts, neighborhoods, lines, stations, trains and passengers • Trends in ridership, mode share, farebox ratio and quality score • Quality score broken down into waiting, transfers, crowding and riders left behind • Hourly entries and exits at each station CINEMA VIEW AND SHARING • Tilted 3D shots of buildings and trains, including Follow cam, Cab, window and platform views • On-board station display; track shown elevated, at-grade or underground • Map themes: Blueprint, Paper, Night and Satellite • Share cards of stations, lines, trains, cities and challenges in five aspect ratios, or a short video of a line CHALLENGES AND ACHIEVEMENTS • Planning challenges in Taipei, Taichung, Tainan, Kaohsiung and Hong Kong, such as Small and Fine, Two by Ten and Light Rail City, with goals for ridership, quality or farebox ratio • 63 achievements for network design, ridership and mode share, viewable in Game Center CITIES Taipei (with New Taipei, Keelung and Taoyuan), Taichung, Chiayi (city and county), Tainan, Kaohsiung, Hong Kong and Macao UNLOCKING Taipei is free.
