Interface for editing lines, purchasing vehicles etc needs a LOT of work
Having played TT, TTD and OpenTTD for ages, I guess I had a fairly set idea of how things should and should not work. This game seems to want to give the player a lot more flexibility but in doing so, the simplest task of all has become REALLY cumbersome. Having built my first garage and a pair of bus stops, I simply wanted to _create_ a new line, _purchase_ a few buses and _assign_ them to said line. This took a good few minutes, after which I didn't really know how many buses because I could see 5 of them on the road but the last one was number 8 and I somehow had two lines named 1 and 3. At that point, I had lost all motivation for creating a third bus stop. Call me an easy quitter if you like but the game interface should work with the player and not the other way around.
