What's the point of designing custom routes, except I guess for fun? NYC is never going to build any new routes.

That is actually the idea. In this simulator, you design services that run on existing tracks. NYC subway is unique in the world in that there are a ton of interlining as well as quadruple tracks, so there are plenty of opportunity to improve system efficiency without building anything new.
