This would be really interesting if you were also able to build transit and bike lanes, and win by moving the largest amount of people.

While this game has an obvious car based bias, it would be interesting to see what happens if mass transit or bicycles were truly the most used forms of transportation. A big part of the reason why there should be a move away from car based planning (IMHO at least) is that it is the dominant form of transportation. This reason wouldn’t exist if cars weren’t as dominant as they are. I’m sure there are problems we wouldn’t even be able to conceive of now for other extremes…
