Feature requests: Ability to view timetables at stations before arrival to allow planning, Stamina system with fancier hotels providing more replenishment as spending incentive, More jobs with better pay consistency, Confirmation dialog when getting off at next stop, Speed modal optimization for mobile/Firefox
