Competitors mentioned: GeoGuesser, Rome2Rio, OSMAnd
Concerns raised: Numerous bugs: routing glitches, stations in wrong locations, currency not switching correctly, Leaderboard has impossible times and cheating (negative times, suspicious records), Timetable data is inaccurate or missing (e.g., ferry routes that don't exist), Mobile UX issues: speed modal glitching on Firefox, difficult to access departure timetables, Game mechanics unfairly punishing: too few jobs, low pay relative to hotel costs
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
