Different Maps Before/After 1.5.0

Screenshot

These were some maps I got to ~50% prior to 1.5.0, so I wanted to see what the ridership looked like before/after the buffs without any changes to service:

DC:

DC before 1.5.0, 50.3%

DC after 1.5.0, 63.6%

Dallas:

Dallas before 1.5.0, 46.8% (I had let it run a little bit after peak mode share, I think one of the routes also got messed up in 1.4)

Dallas after 1.5.0, 64%

Pittsburgh:

Pittsburgh before 1.5.0, 51%

Pittsburgh after 1.5.0, 60.8%

Honolulu:

Honolulu before 1.5.0, 42.3% (save file is 4+ months old, I think new transit data was added, since some pops were still uncalculated at the start)

Honolulu after 1.5.0, 53.8%

Charlotte:

(Might have to redo this map just because of the added population tbh. I'd probably want to start over though, just so I can have kind of a commuter rail spine and since it's a bit of a mess).

Charlotte before 1.5.0, 33%, might have to built this one out more just because it's been expanded so drastically since the last time I played it. This map was built before commuter rail was added, for reference.

Charlotte after 1.5.0, 37.3%

Miami:

(I did this one before I started trying to get maps to 50% but was still curious how it would affect mode share, and whether this algorithm is actually as big of a buff to commuter rail as it seems)

Miami before 1.5.0, 17.2% mode share, not during rush hour though.

Miami after 1.5.0, 26.3%

(Looks like more of a buff to express routes than anything (I had built a lot of express routes on this map before I knew they weren't that good pre-1.5), but the added speed of commuter rail might help. Might not be worth the infrastructure though, it's hard to tell).
