San Antonio

Texas's third-largest metro has existing no rapid transit. The current rail lines only skirt the outsides of the downtown area, so I've introduced a transit-way down Commerce St to connect the new commuter rail terminals. This new network provides access to the airport (via a shuttle) and the Amtrak station, with connections to El Paso, Dallas, and Houston. 

Lines

• Yellow (Transitway): 2 miles, 6 stations
• Brown: 36 miles, 19 stations
• Blue: 22 miles, 15 stations
• Magenta: 16 miles, 8 stations
• Green: 32 miles, 14 stations

Jacksonville

Our third venture to Florida takes us far to the north of the state. Jacksonville is the Florida's oldest city, and due to consolidated boundaries, its "largest" (though by no means its largest metro area). Its current rail service consists of a peripheral Amtrak station and small "people-mover" system in the downtown area. This proposed system adds 4 new rail lines and expands one of the people-mover lines to connect at two new interchanges.

Lines 

• Cyan people-mover:  2 miles, 6 stations
• Blue people-mover: 4 miles, 9 stations (4 new)
• Purple: 28 miles, 19 stations
• Red: 32 miles, 16 stations
• Orange: 9 miles, 7 stations
• Green: 10 miles, 7 stations

Des Moines

This four-line system provides transit to Iowa's capitol and largest city and connects it to the college town of Ames to the North. 

• Purple: 21 miles, 12 stations
• Green: 60 miles, 16 stations
• Red: 36 miles, 17 stations
• Cyan: 14 miles, 8 stations

Albany

The "Capital Region" surrounding Albany includes several additional cities which are small metros in the their own right: Troy, Schenectady, and Saratoga Springs for instance. This imagined system has connections to four Amtrak stations serving points north (Montreal), south (New York), east (Boston), and west (Buffalo, Chicago). While downtown Schenectady is served, the rail lines don't get within walking distance capitol buildings in Albany, so I've introduced two BRT shuttles from Albany-Rensselaer station (also serving Amtrak) and the new Ten Broeck Junction.

Winnipeg

Our first (and only) venture into Canada brings us to Winnipeg, Manitoba's capital and largest city, located at the convergence of the Red and Assiniboine Rivers. Our routes provide us connections to intercity trains and the international airport. I've added a light rail line along Main St and Broadway to connect to the capitol buildings and a new northern rail terminal at Chinatown.

Norfolk

The Norfolk system serves many of the connected cities in Virginia's largest metropolitan region. Shame there isn't a connection across the James River to Newport News. The new rail system provides an interchange with the existing Tide Light Rail system at Harbor Park, where there is also a connection to Amtrak's recently added Norfolk service. While the Orange Line does border the edge Norfolk's airport, it's opposite the terminal and wouldn't provide convenient access.

Lines

• Tide Light Rail (Blue, diamonds on the interactive map): 7.3 miles, 11 stations
• Yellow: 14.5 miles, 10 stations
• Orange: 29.2 miles, 13 stations
• Green: 17.5 miles, 7 stations
• Cyan (Crosstown): 16.2 miles, 12 stations

Madison

Madison was one of last systems to plan, but the first to create a schematic map for. Its natural 45-degree angle paths along and above the isthmus lent themselves nicely to the diagram format. It's also one of the smaller networks, serving a metro area of 627,00 people. Madison has a great convergence of lines downtown just a quarter mile from the capitol building. The Green Line has a stop within walking distance of the airport terminal, though Madison lacks an Amtrak station to make long-distance rail connections (thanks, Scott Walker!).

Lines

• Blue: 18.5 miles, 12 stations
• Green: 17.7 miles, 10 stations
• Purple: 15.0 miles, 9 stations
• Red, 19.5 miles, 15 stations
