Dallas, TX - Day 492

Started from scratch (again) but successfully built a profitable system generating ~$72M/day. I'd like to keep expanding but at this point, any new extension is going to eat into my margin. Given the margin is currently at 41%, debating whether to expand towards Fort Worth for the sake of ridership.

System overview:

  • Entirely light metro
  • 4+1 lines (one line is a branch)
  • 4 car per train on all lines
  • Most lines operate every 15 mins at peak, 20-25 mins medium and 60+ mins overnight
  • Quad tracked from Downtown all the way to Richardson, using the US75 ROW
