Probably not. If you have proof of purchase (unlikely), you could get one.
I ended up buying SC4 on Steam when it was like 75% off or something though I lost my CDs and key too.

Well the city I built up there wasn't planned at all. Basically I just put a bus stop on every corner and two rail lines intersecting the whole map.
My plan for my next large city is to use this:
I recall reading somewhere that pedestrians walk a maximum of 7 blocks so that should cover everything. I don't plan on putting a rail station in ever city block because I don't want train tracks that dense across my map. I'll also make some extra wide blocks for horizontal rails that go east/west, those will probably be 7 blocks wide so I can run a rail down the center and have 3 tiles on each side.
Here's a short technical article that explains some of how people decide what form of transportation to take although it's got a lot of holes:
