Of course, it costs more money to dig than to just lay track.
I also think there should be 3 tracks in suburban areas instead of 2. That way you could have express trains. For example in the south, have a train that runs from Sommerset to Anderson making all the stops, then direct to downtown. Have another route that runs from Anderson up and makes all of those stops. That way people could still fit onto the train at Heritage.

Wow changes like you've suggested would dramatically help the situation. It would really pick up the speed of the whole process- and not to mention comfort. I've heard that the C-train just bought an additional 40 cars, is there any truth to this? Honestly even like... 2 or three more inches of space per train would help immensely.
The express train would be fantastic. Nobody gets off between Anderson and the city core!
