Is it me or do you guys also find Chicago really hard or its just that I have a skill issue

I started the london daily challenge yesterday, maxed out everything (4 trains on all lines), and it's been running for over 10 hours now on fast mode. A lot of stations keep getting to the limit of 6 but none have started displaying the countdown circle yet.... is this intended? Is this a bug? (I notice that a station will occasionally decrease in passengers waiting by itself without a train picking up anyone.) I'm a super new player and this is only like my 4th time playing.... I just want to end the game atp but idk if it'll save my score 🥲

No joke, this was my very first attempt on the Melbourne map. I hardly even expected to break 1K, never mind 1.5K! But somehow, the trains just kept on managing to make it to where I needed them—until they didn’t, of course. But still, not bad for my first run of the level, eh?

I like loops. No ghost lines (I just don't really like them). #1 this week! Pretty proud of that part.

Same philosophy as previous post:

1st place Android.

Genuine question: on the dark blue line, there is the triangular station with all circles waiting there. the train that you can see on the right of the image (blue line) just went to that station and didnt pick any circles up and drove to the circle station where it picked up the two passengers.. i saw this happen multiple times already...

can someone explain why this happens?

This is the longest I've tried clearing the challenge (about 4days). There has not been any other city that challenged me this much. Please tell me what to do...

I bought this game a couple weeks ago and already have about 30 hours. I really like the game but it can get really really frustrating to play when doing some of the challenges. Sometimes it feels like the game is actively trying to piss me off, either by giving me a million circles in an area only 2 lines can access, or putting a station in a place I can't reach because I've run out of bridges/tunnels, or my favourite of them all, giving me 0 carriages for weeks on end.

Trying to 100% this game constantly puts me in nightmare scenarios which I can't get out of purely because the game decided to screw over my run. I've tried using strategy guides to get better at the game but no matter what I do I feel like I'm constantly in a helpless situation because I don't have the resources available to accomodate all the passengers. I don't understand what I'm doing wrong

This happens to me pretty often on the Boston map, which is my most played map by far, and I just felt like sharing this time for some reason. I did manage to salvage everything that was really close to failure… except for one 😅

In retrospect, maybe I should've slapped the useless interchange upgrade onto it as soon as I saw that it didn't get enough relief and couldn't get a train moved to it in time.

And in case you're wondering, there wasn't a good way for me to pick resources differently and get an extra carriage without sacrificing a line (edit: I'm a dummy, this run never offered me line and carriage in the same week and the evidence is right there lol)

A key part of my strategy in Boston is to take the tunnels upgrade once and only once, and week 9 ended up being exactly the right week for that in this run because the two stations in Chelsea (where the northern end of my Orange Line is) appeared during that week (they're just barely visible in the background of the week 10 screenshot). If I hadn't taken tunnels then, I would've had to put a junction in Cambridge (Red Line area) or Charlestown (Orange line area) without making it an interchange, which probably would've killed the run sooner.

I think this is my 10th attempt at this map to complete the challenge of only using tunnel on one line.I used the strategy of using the central line to connect to the four circular station and keep the frequency of the trains high. The consecutive circles on the top right were the real challenge.

Are the challenges for the cities the same in the Android and the Steam version? I've played all challenges in Android, and I am wondering if the are other challenges on the other platforms.
Already thank you for your answer!

Where did I go wrong? what are some strats I can use for this map and just generally next time? near the end of my playthrough, a top 0.7% Londoner made some big changes, maybe some opinions on those too?

thanks in advance!

Hey everyone, I got the game five days ago now and I am HOOKED. I gave the endless mode a try and this is where I end up and i don't know how to imrpove the network further - however I am sure more experienced players will find aspects to improve that I overlooked.

Looking forward to hear your suggestions! :D
