City Notes
City spotlight: Helsinki
Helsinki is a strong Route Wars city because it combines a compact centre with several route types. Trams, metro, buses, rail corridors, and ferries give the game different route personalities without becoming unreadable on a small screen.
The Route Wars angle
Helsinki supports short-hop tactical play and longer directional choices. That gives players a reason to care about both the current stop and the route shape ahead.
Data handling
Helsinki data is imported into Route Wars infrastructure. Any Digitransit/HSL key needed for import belongs in the import or server environment, not in the browser app.
