Hi everyone, big fan of the app.

I was wanting to ask about the subway view, is it only for subways?

I see that obviously the Glasgow Subway is included, which is obvious, but can Light Rail systems be included? I'm thinking about Edinburgh Trams, personally (which is treated more like a metro that goes on the road than a Tram) but also Manchester's Metrolink.

If the above systems are something that would be covered by subway view, would it be okay if I add Edinburgh?

From what the developers said at the State of the Map 2026, they will implement public transport routing using Transitous, the same system that cartes.app uses. Not sure if this means that the overlay will include all the lines though

    Especially if it spends a long distance underground - Seattle's light rail is underground in a tunnel for all of downtown and several other places.

    It's the same way in New York City. No regional trains shown with the subway overlay.

    I can't answer if it's on the roadmap or not, just figured I mention it because it seems to be this way by design.
