[WIP]railroad/transit system/map in fictional slavic world

I like where you're starting. I think you should take a little time to consider the efficiency of your transit system. Real subways/light rail systems won't have overlapping lines like that. Take a look at the map of the Los Angeles light rail system:


In general the lines spiderweb out from one or two hubs and don't cross again. You will get some crossing with secondary lines that are needed to add coverage to new areas. Maybe it would be fun for you to rough in where you big cities are, then connect them with transit lines. After you do that place some smaller cities and add in the secondary lines. Just a thought.

While that's true of the urban light rail for a single metropolitan area, Otviss' scenario is rail linking multiple cities together. They often do overlap.
