    Hi Everyone
    The MBTA is a large and relatively famous passenger rail network that DTG hasn't done yet and I know that I and my fellow Boston railfans would love for DTG to do one of the lines whether that be subway or commuter rail. I have a poll below of all the subway and commuter rail lines (let me know if I'm missing any) and if DTG staff want to do an MBTA route, this would help them see which route people want the most. I didn't include Mattapan Light Rail because it is way too short of a route.

    DTG action is too slow, or their route plan. Maybe you will see your chosen route in the future, but how long will it take to execute in the game? The ghost knows!

    I would definitely like to see the commuter rail of the MBTA on the roadmap sometime soon.

    As long as it includes the new rolling stock built by CRRC, I would want to see this route.

    Red Line: UDTC trains are the most common older trains (there are others but they look identical)

    There are pictures of the controls for these trains but I can't tell for sure which train they belong to so I decided that it would be best to leave them out
