I have a little cousin who is about 12, and I plan to get into his region and build a city rife with crime and pollution in the hopes that it creates havoc in his, most likely, meticulously built city. Muahaha. I am a mean cousin sometimes.

I wonder if the tilt-shift filter will be adjustable.
More interestingly, I wonder if the tilt-shift effect, in addition to making the game look awesome, actually improves framerates - don't need nearly as much rendering power for those sections of the screen, assuming you can render directly like that rather than having to render and then filter.
I'd bet it's a calculated filter after the fact, but maybe they can mess the the LoD for blurred objects if raw polygon throughput is a limiting factor.

I am not seeing alot of public transportation options on those pics.
There aren't tons of options. Cars, buses, trams, trains, ferries, taxis, and planes are confirmed methods of travel. Below are some screenshots showing a few of the public transportation methods (buses, trams, and trains). I don't think I have seen a screenshot of ferries or airports yet.
Last week they were having a bug with taxis they were calling "Taxigeddon" at Maxis:

We've been calling one of our bugs "Taxigeddon", 1300 Taxis descend upon your city. Yeah, we'll fix that... #simcity #bugs
Spoiler!
Bus stops on the right hand side of the road.
Bus stop in front of the beautiful office building.
Bus stops along the left side of the road and tram tracks down the middle of the road.
Tram and tram station.
Trams and tram station.
The next three screenshots don't look as good because they were taken with lower settings:
Trains
