The cars originally had no lighting, were very simplistic, and had little variety and detail. I redid them to enhance them and it was well worth the effort. Not only that, but I also updated the trains to follow the current standards as world 11 had. The night lights on both were also updated to make them a bit more realistic (they were too bright before).

Not mentioned in this is the optimization of the font (making it narrower to save memory), added in power lines and rails where they were needed, and got Musan Swamp, world 20, added in. The latter isn't shown as I intended on it being in the upcoming 5-year anniversary video on April 21, 2014 at 9:23 AM.

Since world 11, maglev train, has 57 out of the 67 vehicle variations, pretty much everything, and they also get the closest to the camera, I start there to explain the many vehicles and is what the bulk of this video involves. When done, just note how fast the traffic goes by, always to the left regardless of which lane they're in. This is because the maglev trains go 192 mph (309 km/h) constantly whereas the regular cars only go up to 72 mph (115.9 km/h). Yep, those far ones are zipping by to the left at a combined 264 mph (424.9 km/h). The closer ones are zipping by at 120 mph (193.1 km/h). Here's a brief run down as to the 10 unique types of cars there are and common details:

The 8 colors (most to least common): white, black, gray, red, blue, orange, yellow, then green. The 6 regions: Ronnis or West Ronnisa, Kevinsville, Osa, Desleal, Cydis, and Musianna.

Semi. Found: all but Jeremy's house. Set: 8 colors (plus silver). Varieties: 9. Each color is associated to a specific trailer design: Clothesland (clothing store), Quincy's (department store), Electronics Island (electronics store), Comfort Furniture Store (furniture store), Galactic Groceries (a grocery store), Hardwaremart (hardware store - 1949 was what I couldn't read), Office 101 (office supply store), Platform Masters (the usual PM champ ad with rich detail and more advertising detail on it), tank (carrying hydrogen like the trains do).
Bus. Found: everywhere (limited by region). Set: 6 regions. Varieties: 9 (3 travel, 6 school). The City Bus, found near Ronnis (including Jeremy's House) - I like how the design came out. The Ronnisa-Keveran Travel Services Company bus, is found in and around the Keveran region. Sentus Bus Depot is exclusive to the Sentus and Musan regions. The school buses are near the school districts they involve using the 6 regions.
Ambulance. Found: all worlds. Set: unique (only 1 per layer). Varieties: 1. The design is quite simplistic, an intentional design.
Compact. Found: all worlds. Set: 8 colors. Varieties: 8. Compacts are uncomfortable but their sleek aerodynamic design and low weight make them very cheap, best for getting to and from work or short range travel.
Fire truck. Found: all worlds. Set: 6 regions (only 1 of each applicable type per layer). Varieties: 6. The design is fairly simplistic.
Motorcycle. Found: all worlds. Set: 8 colors. Varieties: 8. These are more fun and a lot cheaper, but more dangerous and require the use of a special suit, a suit that replaces the need for a helmet and padding and also offers climate control. Note the size of the rider on top - that's how big Jeremy Kaplan would appear at those distances.
Police car. Found: all worlds. Set: 6 regions. Varieties: 7. The highway patrol is not found in Jeremy's House but found everywhere else.
Sedan. Found: all worlds. Set: 8 colors. Varieties: 8. Although they cost more per kiloblock, they are a comfortable way to get around, especially for long-distance travel. Given that PM has a ton of highways in the backgrounds, these are very common.
Tow truck. Found: most worlds. Set: unique (only 1 per layer). Varieties: 3. The wench (I accidentally said "wrench") is hidden behind the sides of the truck. The 3 variations are based on the region: Richard's Tow is for the Ronnis area, Samantha's Tow for Ronnisa Plains and the Keveran region, Mandar's Tow for the Sentus and Musan regions.
Truck. Found: all worlds. Set: 8 colors. Varieties: 8. Trucks are mainly used to haul large, bulky items around, generally for families, but also for commercial use where a whole semi is a waste and the item doesn't have to be enclosed. Since this isn't a common activity, trucks are quite rare.
