Different Maps Before/After 1.5.0
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:
Dallas:
Pittsburgh:
Honolulu:
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).
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.
(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).
