Local Line puts you in the cab of a commuter train, a subway, an elevated line or an express, and hands you the master controller. Ease out of the platform, hold the line speed through the curves, keep to the timetable, and bring every car to a stop right on the mark while the passengers wait on the platform. It looks easy. It is not easy.
A real master controller
Power and brake notches on a dial, not a gas pedal. Trains have weight: plan your braking a station ahead.
Stop on the mark
Every stop is graded. Land a PINPOINT or a BULLSEYE for a precision bonus; overshoot and the doors stay shut.
Keep the timetable
A run clock tells you if you are LATE or EARLY at each station. Speed limits are enforced, and the train protection will step in if you ignore them.
Day, night and weather
Morning light, rain on the glass, snow on the platforms, fog and storms. The weather changes every run.
Every view
From the cab, the chase cam, the rail or the window. Watch a replay of your stop from the platform end.
Under the city
Express tracks, crossovers and tunnels on the subway, elevated junctions round the Loop, and a viaduct across Bogotá.
Gates down, bells ringing
Level crossings all the way down the Peninsula, and the main line flat out at up to 160 mph.
Unlock new lines
Master a line to unlock the next. A daily run, a logbook of every trip, streaks, ranks and world leaderboards for every line.
Nineteen lines, six cities
Short commuter hops to learn on, long endurance runs to master, and express lines where the stations come fast. Master a line to unlock the next.
