      More efficient to have one central system over many small ones. Also, many forms of transportation can easily use steel wheels, such as trains and trams.

      In my city the train, metro and trams all ride on steel.

        Mine doesn’t have a subway/metro. A 1route regional train. We are finally making light rail, but it’s very behind schedule and has cost 142 billion and still isn’t very wide. The primary public transit is busses.
