《Transit Core》Line 1

Tod looked at the map. A projection from an overhead projector, it showed parts of the city, segregated into a 10-by-10 blocks. And where the lines were.
This was his home. There’s a bed on the right side of the room, a small pantry with a fridge, a small table for food, a bin filled with finished takeouts.
Tod focused on the map, again.
It showed a small yellow line from a spot marked in I-3 to J-4, a short track, with three stations in total. He chose that yesterday, and today the line was built.

There was a $ sign on top.
Cash in hand - $40m.
The first 3 stations, costs him $60m, at $20m each, the surface-lines another $90m, at $30m for one box of double standard gauge track. Another $60m for 6 units of grade 1 rolling stock. So, total capital outlay, $210m.
Tod then opened up the menu, and the screen changed. Alright. Things look good.

Tod smiled. A small profit, but profit nonetheless. Great, now he had to wait. He’ll need another $10m or so to expand the network to another block, and he would have to wait 25 years.
Wait. 25 years? He calculated and punched buttons on the spreadsheet, reconfirming it.
25 years? He couldn’t wait that long just to expand the line by 1 stop!
He needed more money!

The Good Crash: An Oral History of the Post-Scarcity Collapse
"Don't we all feel, deep down, that we deserve the apocalypse?" APRIL, 2028—Global capitalism has collapsed. America has sealed itself off from the outside world, and inside its borders, a revolution rages.All it took was one incredible little machine. That machine turned into two, then four, then eight... like a virus, the replicators spread.As a work of oral history, The Good Crash features over 50 interviews with key witnesses to the events of 2027. The text is rendered in the words used by the interviewees themselves, with light editing for clarity and concision. As such, the book contains language and themes that are not appropriate for children.By capturing the voices to the people at the very root of the revolution, journalist and historian R. Vondersnitch has traced the origins and aftermath of the replicators' rapid spread. Crucially, the book also includes perspectives and testimony from those who attempted to stop the spread of the reps. "Some of these are heroes, too, in their own ways," the author writes in the book's introductory note.
