I'd be interested in reading about your thoughts on SC4's subway system.
I have used Washington DC and New York City's subway systems both. NYC had a decent subway in Manhattan, albeit very difficult to understand do to its complexity, but it was never difficult to walk to a station. In some of the other boroughs it can take a little more walking, but it's still an amazing system.
Washington DC's was much easier to understand and much simpler, but was also significantly busier and it generally took much more walking. The last time I visited DC I opted just to drive to avoid the inconvenience of having to mess around with the subway. As bad as traffic was, it was often still faster than having to walk a mile or more to a station.
In my cities I always littered the city with subway stations just about as often as I could. It was inconvenient because they all took a 1x1 square out of my cities, but sims seemed quite discouraged to walk very far. And as expensive as it was in the game, I never seemed short on cash.
Very interesting updates indeed, please keep us posted.
