Metro simulator forums

It provides players with a wider range of options when choosing vehicles for different maps. However, I’d like to propose an exciting idea for the future: incorporating a light-rail system that operates with tram vehicles, inspired by the Metro do Porto in Portugal.

Metro do Porto is a unique network—a fast tram system in the city of Porto. Despite its name, it isn’t a traditional metro. Instead, it combines underground sections in central Porto with above-ground tracks extending into the city’s suburbs. The key feature? These low-floor tram vehicles efficiently connect six lines, serving seven municipalities within the greater Porto area.

By including a metro system that operates with trams in the simulator, it can reflect diversity of different realistic Metro system; It envolves the creation on different and interesting urban and suburban environments that players can explore; plus Light-rail systems often become integral parts of a city’s identity.
