Well, what about stations, airports, etc. that catch more people when the number
of destinations grow? In TT Deluxe you won't make much money if your trains in
every town, because all passengers will leave your train as soon as possible,
and that isn't realistic. I think every passenger should get a destination, so
they will stay in your train till they reach that destination.
Other points that should be changed in TT 2 are the corners in the railways, the
mountains (like the mountains in Railroad Tycoon II, only in that game it isn't
possible to dig tunnels), the size of the maps, the sizes of trains, aiplanes
etc. according to each other and according to the towns (a train isn't as long
as ten Jumbo Jets or aslong as a town!). Of course I do also agree with your
points, but why do you only mention Double Decker Buses, and no Double Decker
Trains? Oh, I also think you should first build "electrical wires above the
rails" (how do you call that in English???) before you can use electric trains.
