There is the competetive become the richest man type gameplay. Then there is sandbox where everything is free. Sometimes people like having money to spend and building stuff up for fun.
Bisjac:
the game is only fun when you start with nothing and cities are small.

things get awesome as players slowly gain more. to simply cheat and build it all kinda ruins the possible layout of networks.
like being forced to earn the money, allows the game to evolve at a better pace.
Bisjac:
For noobs to the game;
start with road vehicles. trains are done in a similar way, but learning signals is very complicated.

1) place a bus station in each of a few cities that arent far from each other.
or
place a truck station next to a producing resource, and another one at it's corresponding receiving one.

2) connect the stations or cities with roads

3) build a depot anywhere on that road network

4) go into the depot and buy a bus (or truck type for whatever resource you built for)

5) if its not already open from when you bought it, click your road vehicle you just paid for so it's info window pops up. (if you cant find the vehicle, its parked inside the depot)

6) the little yellow arrow on the vehicle's info window is how you give it directions.

7) when the arrow is clicked, start clicking on stations that are built to put together a direction list for him.

8) should be just the 2 for now. it will auto loop.

9) click the go/drive button on the vehicle window and he will begin following his directions.

10) he will pick up from 1 station and drop off automatically when he visits the second station (or if busses, pick up and drop off at each one)

11) income is made, let him be alone for a bit and watch the stations, if his cycle cant keep up with production, add another vehicle.

note; stations dont react or produce until they are visited for the first time. so that first run to each station is a dry run to enable everything.

As much as I'd love to play and build some more sprawling train networks, make billions of dollars, then use the money to flood the entire continent (I'm assuming there is a no flooding the continent rule now), I don't really have the time to play at the moment.

I like the planes limit though. People just come in and take out huge loans and build international airports and spam concords and don't really learn the mechanics of the game and then wonder why you're out earning their 50 plane fleet with 10 trains.
