Maglev
Maglev trains run on elevated tracks above your city’s road network and shorter buildings, and are heavily influenced by both reality (actively operating magnetic levitation trains in China and Japan) and the theoretical (Elon Musk’s Hyperloop concept for mass transit). Gameplay wise, the maglev behaves like a light rail network with several key differences. The first is that the maglev track is raised above the ground, allowing it to travel above roads without having to stop for car or drone traffic. The track can be drawn off-road as well giving your city shortcuts between separate districts in your city. The RCI zoning system has also been updated to allow some lower density buildings to actually be constructed underneath the tracks, so you don’t have to sacrifice precious RCI space to make way for that maglev line extension.
