Mix different train types on a single network for operational variety

Planning your multi-vehicle network

Design separate but interconnected lines for different vehicle types: metro S-Trains for underground rapid transit, Z67000 trains for regional connections, trams for street-level routes, and buses for local service. Each vehicle type should serve a distinct purpose in your transit network while connecting at key interchange stations.

Creating interchange stations

Build central hub stations where multiple vehicle types meet. These stations should have platforms or stops for each vehicle type, allowing passengers to transfer between services. Use clear signage and layout to show which platforms serve which routes.

Balancing frequency and aesthetics

Place multiple vehicles on high-demand routes to simulate frequent service. Use different paint schemes and configurations to create visual interest and suggest different operators or service tiers. For example, use multiple S-Train configurations on your metro line, or vary Z67000 paint schemes across regional routes.

Test your network by traveling through it as a passenger. Verify that connections between different vehicle types work smoothly and that the overall system feels cohesive and functional.
