I like it but it always felt like there was an escalating kill screen that happens way too quickly. Either that or I'm bad at it.

I am also bad at mini Metro but the thing that makes me crazy is that when the game ends it says something like “your city shut down.” That makes absolutely no sense and the endgame message should’ve been “you were fired!” Such a missed opportunity!
Maybe it does make sense: public transportation is vital to your city. If you fail at it, your city fails?
Serves this city right for putting all its eggs into one basket.

Where are the alternate forms transport: the bike paths and bike shares, LRTs/buses, and yes, roads? What about other upstream policy levers such as WFH mandates, and a decentralized urban core?

You're not alone.
