Suggestions for improvement from a beta tester for the railway

The shortening of the cooldown time at least made the possibilities of the new railway visible. I suggest the following changes:

1.) more trains and/or upgrading the trains to be able to carry more passengers at once.

2.) The amount of train.money you get per ride doesn't just depend on the number of passengers; You should also “reward” the length of the route and, if necessary, a surcharge for bridges used.

But please don't forget to fix the errors:

1.) the possibility of establishing a rail connection via the second bridge in the Sunny Islands region.

2.) correct the information in the railway shop (e.g. new cooldown times)

    Since a few days the cooldown of the trains is not working like you write before.

    I have two trains; When I select which train I want to run, I am shown cooldown times of 10 minutes or 30 minutes. After the trains have departed, the cooldown times of 2h 29min or 2h 39min are displayed and applied. Please apply the conditions specified before departure and selected by me for the train journeys and do not suddenly extend the times. has anyone else had this experience?

    Trains and mass transit have been a horrible experience, EA really needs to backtrack and remove them all together

    Need more railway stations. I was surprised that each city did not have railway stations available.

    The problem is that a loop railroad that only uses one station results in way to much demolition in a developed city.

    However, a linear railroad that needs a minimum two stations is much easier to construct and results in much less demo in a developed city!

     The two small railway stations are not enough, need more,

    my simple wish is for railways and trains to just go away and never come back.

    I think the suggestions are valid and I am not dismissing them. I just don't think trains are worth effort from players, developers, or even librarians. What a useless feature.

    I have to wonder why the beta testers did not state how stpid the trains are.  Remove them from the game please, before I quit and delete.

     The whole mass transit system is ridiculous. It all runs on the same timetable. So if you send a train in one region, you can't send another in any region until the time runs out- boring, useless, pointless.  

    Takes too long to save coins to get a larger capacity train.  

    Can't sell items purchased to team members or others.  

    Seems to be causing slow down in the game.  I keep getting error messages, the game crashes more often and travelling or accessing global market or other's depots.  Sort it out EA please.
