Learn how to build an effective subway system in SimCity 2000 with a loop-branch design for even city coverage.

SimCity 2000 subways offer the convenience of minimal above-ground real estate usage. However, the game lacks the complexity for main subway terminals with surrounding small stations.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Construct a single subway line that meanders through most of your city, avoiding excessive detours, to create a main loop.
  2. 2
    Add short branches off this loop where needed to achieve roughly even coverage across the city.
  3. 3
    Alternatively, you can place stations where you feel they are necessary first, then connect them with subway lines, treating it like a connect-the-dots puzzle.
Tips
  • Consider the loop-branch design for a balanced subway network.
  • Place stations strategically to maximize coverage.
