Having been a resident of San Francisco for a year now, I have to say that I love your implementation of the trolley busses. Don't be afraid of height differences! I think that the dense zoning of your various areas (whether it be mid/high rises or low-rise in the hillside neighborhood) helps a lot in hiding the ugly terrain that would be usually held up by retaining walls. There are a lot of cool cities/areas with massive height differences between buildings.

I think this city would probably struggle mightily with erosion. Especially where the river comes near the intercity passenger train station: There's no plants along the riverbank to secure the soil, so the first time any significant rain event occurs, all of the soli that was recently moved to the bank to make room for the train station will get washed into the river and cause major damage to the road and businesses along it. Ideally, we would have some sort of riparian zone restoration that could naturally secure the riverbank, but considering the space concerns some form of quay wall would be more appropriate. Really, any place in the city where a cliff directly drops into the riverbed could use some form of erosion protection - either a 10+ ft buffer zone at roughly water level where plants can put down roots to secure the riverbank (you can have pedestrian paths in this zone, think of the San Antonio River Walk or some of the more-developed areas of the Mississippi River National Recreational Area), or retention walls to secure the bank in places space does not permit a proper riparian zone.

But it will be fun to have a collab series with some experts on the field and implement a bunch of cool measures! :D I think in most of the areas you mention, a restored buffer won't be enough. Probably big chunks of the delta would need to be given back to nature. High floods and high tides, particularly under climate change, will reclaim most of the delta sooner than later.

Tunnelling under mountains is not especially more difficult than tunnelling anywhere else... you get a boring machine, and start drilling.

Metro Plaza is such a great asset, and it feels underused with just two metro lines.

Even the metro station with two parallel lines would fit nicely in the Downtown.

About the teal coverage line, you actually want to have lines intersect with each other, potentially at several points throughout a line. In real life this is what you would see in a well oiled transit system. Think in terms of arterial routes, collector routes and local routes, just as with roads, and your transit system will improve significantly while increasing ridership and connectivity, thus leading to less motorists on the roads. Im not sure what it looks like in the US but if you look at a European country with a well developed transit system you would see a lot of intersecting routes, as a real world example: I live on the edge of the city and during my 20 minute commute to uni I switch vehicle once and in total I will pass through 3-5 transit hubs on the way, you can access almost any part of the city and only have to switch bus/tram once or twice. I think improving and developing your transit planning skills should be on the agenda for anyone spending a lot of time in C:S.

I have 2 problems with this episode. 1: you’ve got a really indirect route from the main train station to the airport. And since most of the city seems to be in the river part of the build, it’s an unnecessarily long trip by transit to get there (especially since there’s a railway that goes directly from the main statin to the airport, seems like a no brainer to just run a line between them. 2: to compound the long metro ride from the main station to the airport, you’ve forced a transfer between the river line and the ocean line. That should be 1 long line at the very least, since you wouldn’t need a second train depot for the other line since they’re connected. So 1: make a heavy rail line that goes between the main intercity station and the airport. 2: loop the tracks in downtown so you can through run the metro (ie make a 3/4 circle track to connect the 2 stations your using)

It's unusual to need to transfer if you're trying to get to "downtown", and a second route could help with demand. Additionally, if you plan to add any more routes, then stopping in the downtown allows more options for transfers

Very nice; good addition; there is one issue though: TMPE does not play well with buslanes; it turned all your buslanes into dedicated right turn lanes, meaning your buses can't go straight on or left, only right; which means they are probably not going to use it. Similarly, your other traffic can't go right, and have to go left and then go around and cross the road in order to go right. In short, you need to manually set all the lane directional allowances.

Two thoughts: first, I know it's cool to see people using the multi-level metro-hub in the downtown, but with only two lines using the facility, it's really overkill. Second, I feel like a third metro line is justified operating from the IT cluster/intercity train station underneath the mountain to the Airport. The IT cluster is likely a bigger job center than the downtown, and the hillside neighborhood that got trolleybuses probably has the density to warrant more metro service. Also the proposed third line would complete a triangle and distribute metro transfers from one station today (downtown) to three (airport and IT cluster). And lastly, the third line could be extended across the river to the lower density residential areas when it makes sense to upzone them.
