Does anyone not use the monorail?

I don't use it. I had it out for a long time, but I felt like it blocked parts of my town so I just stored it. I like my town better without it.

"Different strokes for different folks," eh? The monorail is one of the best features of TSTO from my perspective. I have a main route that is almost 8 minutes long and extends from SH all the way to the far east side of Springfield. I have a second, inner-loop in Springfield that's just about 4 minutes.

Unfortunately, EA has never seen fit to allow us to swap, sell or get rid of rail pieces we cannot use so I now have over 500 useless items in inventory and with the new, never-ending recycling program, that number will quickly double I'm sure. How about a dollar sale on rail pieces, EA - or 100 sections traded in for one donut? I'd go for that in a heartbeat. Just sayin'...........

I have a very long rail in my main town, with some interesting patterns of rails. I use it more so to delineate sections of town rather than fences or (I hate them) roads. They surround the industries, separate the trash sorting area from the big park, and run through the Heights to annoy the wealthy. The facades that they may block are not all that fancy, and the more prominent ones show up just fine. And as no one can drive anywhere in Springfield, it gives the less mobile and lazy characters an easy ride.

this post made me delete my monoraill from my town.

Happy to be of assistance.

Interesting thoughts going on, never really though of the item limit but yeah that’s also a good reason to confine the monorail to the inventory. I just think it looks hideous running around the town and it screwed up the neatness of my little Springfield.

too slow editing :) whatever.

You know what would be awesome is a ground level trolley that would run down the middle of roads and have stations. That would be much less intrusive.

I've been building since day one of the Monorail. It's currently one track running around my town. The round trip takes over 7 minutes but will continue to expand as new land becomes available :) With the changes to the daily payouts I have finally gotten rid of the unwanted S pieces and am reducing my item count by replacing the short straights.

Hey @AirurandoP, is the image of your entire town still available for public viewing? I always liked checking it out.

It's still there but I haven't updated it for a while. Will have to. The signatures changed so I can't link it to my signature anymore :( but I can edit this post with a link. You're the first to mention checking it out.
