1. Start Small, Think Big

Build a Closed Loop: Begin with a modest railway network. Connect stations that have two connection points to form a closed loop. This setup gets your trains moving efficiently in the early stages.

Expand Gradually: As you acquire more stations, gradually connect them to create an extensive network. Remember, a well-connected city is a thriving city!

2. Optimize Passenger Flow

Strategic Station Placement: Place your stations near buildings with high population density. Alternatively, relocate buildings closer to your station. This maximizes passenger flow, ensuring your trains are always full.

Keep an Eye on Movement: Monitor how citizens move to and from the station. Adjust placements for maximum efficiency.

3. Leverage Contest of Mayors Assignments

Plan Ahead: Before dispatching trains, check if there are train-related tasks in the Contest of Mayors. Starting with the right tasks can save time and earn you extra rewards.

4. Synchronize Trains with Production

Efficient Scheduling: Load and dispatch your trains before initiating material production. This strategy allows you to dispatch trains more quickly once production is complete.

5. Frequent the Railway Shop

Stay Updated: Regularly check the railway shop, especially before starting item production. The shop often has items that can speed up other production processes.

Smart Shopping: Purchase necessary items from the shop to fulfill other requirements more swiftly.

6. Collect Free Train Cards Daily

Daily Rewards: Visit the railway shop daily to collect your free train card. These cards are crucial for upgrading and enhancing your trains' capabilities.

Embrace these tips and tricks to ensure your city's train system is not only efficient but also a vital component of your urban landscape. Remember, a well-planned railway network can be the backbone of your city's economy and the key to becoming a top mayor in SimCity BuildIt. All aboard for a successful journey!
