Train Stations

I have access to just three Train Stations and I am using all of them in the Sunny Isles Region. Of course, every other region is begging for trains as well. And, of course ,it is impossible to build a transit system in my other regions because I ONLY HAVE THREE STATIONS!! [Not to mention that, even when you upgrade you only get 1 Station of each kind. Which makes no sense whatsoever.]

What gives? How can anyone create transit systems throughout their regions without even enough starter stations to get started?

Also, now everything that needs resources is including train exclusive items which I can't usually buy since I only get 20 train currency per train run. It takes forever to earn enough to buy 1 item. 

I enjoy having the one train line that I have but I would enjoy it better if the system worked in all regions.

  • How did you get 3? I only have access to two. I don’t know what to do to get more trains, what are the little boxes for by the train descriptions, and what are the cards for. Not enough instructions.

    You get a free train pass-every 24 hour's and unfortunately the train does need tickets and you need to purchase them to increase the wallet, It is * how the developers can create something thats costs a few dollars. I must admit i have actually spent $100 in getting them, more fool me but thats the game and i really love it!

    However reading all comments the idiots who think they’ve done a good service need their heads read and just another money making scheme.

    Apparently if you transport 1000 passengers you can acquire the next level station of which there is only one, which makes it's usefulness limited unless a train that can handle more passengers becomes available.

    The 3rd level station requires transporting 10,000 passengers to get it. Check the descriptions of each available train station.

    Also,  technically I have another (4th) station which I bought but I'm saving that for when I can match it up with another larger station.

    Still, I am doing my best to use this train system without breaking my real world bank account.

    Yep,i dont spend real money for the trains, i had 2 cities (lvl18 cities) who had the unwanted betatest version of the trains. They both got to 5 stations, the last one was mentioned as central station, but was reduced in rank when the gamewas introduced to the public.  Since they are lvl18 cities the never will reach above 4 stations, you need to be lvl20 vitylevel for more. Mylargest city now has 4 stations, and 3 trains running. I leveled the flying sim up to level2, it now transports 48 passengers (pff) but try to get the lamaline asap, it will give you a lot of passengers.

    you need either a minimum amount of passengers transported of the amount of cards (just as the war disasters) and the requirements .

    dont forget to obtain the free card of a random train daily.

    I have 6 stations as i payed green cash for 1, another was offered at $14.99 which i bought. I have 2 cities one lvl99 and the other lvl67. I just got the 4th train so im getting approx 196 rail coins each time i dispatch them. The 5 th train ….well pftt i dont  think ill get that one for another 2 years the way its been set up!

    EA needs to take a good hard look at what they’ve created and do some tweaking to get more stations for us to be able to put them in to our regions. Also give us another couple trains at a lower cost so we can get to play the game how it should be played

    I have access to all stations available, but I have only three trains, so just one medium railway station with four waiting  slots is sufficient for my recent needs. It enables me to make about 1000 train coins/day  if I despatch all three trains 10x/day. Another month loading passenger to get only 20 or 15 coins would drive me crazy.  I do not care that two of my regions ask for trains. It is like real life - one cannot have every wish fulfilled.
