This may explain why, in my rail-only cities (yeah, it's expensive; but
it does wonders for my pollution levels! I've never had pollution in a
residential district.), even when I've got huge rail lines all over the

traffic map shows no measurable activity at all, I get demands for roads.

Kinda silly.
