The rules are the same as "Tokyo Train!4." - For Railway Commanders As a train commander, you'll dispatch a variety of trains, including local and express trains, to transport passengers. - Key Points of This Game 0. Bring back the trains of that time while enjoying designs and background music that evoke a retro atmosphere. 1. Include numerous route maps and trains that recreate the nostalgic JNR. From Hokkaido to Kyushu, there are plenty of express trains, including long-distance express trains, as well as local, semi-express, and express trains. 2.

Profit Calculation Formula ① Variable Fare - ② Boarding Time x ③ Number of Passengers - ④ Departure Cost = ⑤ Operating Profit ① Variable Fare: You receive a fare when the train transports passengers to their destination station.

The boarding time is deducted from the fare received when the train transports passengers to their destination station. The faster you transport passengers, the shorter the boarding time will be. ③ Number of Passengers Each station displays the number of passengers serving that destination. ④ Departure Cost: When a train departs, a departure cost is deducted. The departure cost is displayed below the departure button. ⑤ Operating Profit: This is the goal of the game. Aim for great results! ・Controls Controls are very simple.
