0How to construct a LIGHT METRO in Transport Fever 2
In Transport Fever 2, short metro lines are compact underground or elevated rail systems designed to move large numbers of passengers efficiently within a city or between nearby districts. Unlike long-distance railways, short metros focus on frequent stops, high capacity, and quick turnaround, making them ideal for dense urban cores where buses or trams can’t keep up with demand. Because stations are close together, trains don’t need to be long—shorter consists with high frequency usually work best. Properly placed, metros can drastically reduce road congestion, boost city growth, and keep passenger flow smooth in busy areas.
Keep stations close – Place metro stops every 200–400 meters in dense city areas to maximize passenger catchment.
Use short trains – Two to three car consists are usually enough, since high frequency matters more than length.
Prioritize frequency – Set multiple vehicles per line to ensure trains arrive every 30–60 seconds at peak demand.
Integrate with buses/trams – Use feeder bus or tram lines to connect outer districts directly into metro stations.
Place stations at hubs – Position stops near airports, intercity train stations, or bus terminals for maximum transfers.
Avoid unnecessary tunneling – Where possible, use elevated tracks or cut-and-cover to save money while staying compact.
Upgrade gradually – Start with a few trains and smaller stations; expand platforms or add trains as passenger numbers grow.
Plan loops or shuttles – Simple circular or point-to-point shuttle lines often work better than sprawling metro routes.
Balance lines – Split one long, busy route into two shorter ones to keep intervals tight and avoid overcrowding.
Watch maintenance costs – Keep depot placement efficient and avoid overbuying vehicles that sit idle.
