What to study

Transport Fever 2 treats the line, not the vehicle, as the unit of management, and this panel is where that idea lives: every route in the empire is one color-coded row (airplane, bus, ship, train, tram), filterable by mode, searchable by name, and drawn onto the same desaturated map the player builds on. The map itself does quiet work too, with stop, cargo and passenger markers showing where demand actually is, while the bottom bar keeps the economy in view (account $544,570,072, earnings $5,319,702, date Jun 3, 1970). No trailer caption crosses the frame. Frame at about 0:26 in the Launch Trailer (Steam).
