Nice site but there's so few systems in it.

  yep, its still and will always be WIP, every system exposes their data a bit differently, so it's not completely plug and play. you're welcome to contribute to the existing system data however! <a href="https://github.com/WaffleThief123/publictransit-systems/" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/WaffleThief123/publictransit-systems/</a>

Very nice! I think we're confusing route length and track length, though.

  Can you elaborate further on this so I might be able to fix it? As best I am able to discern, system track length for all current ones is accurate.

    Could track length include sidings and double-tracks and extensions and other maintenance track needs that aren't useful for the passengers themselves?

Looks good.<p>London, Paris, Copenhagen, Rome, Madrid?<p>I guess it takes a while to add each new one in.

  tysm! Yeah I've got a bit of a backlog, as each set of data for each system needs a deep-dive on how the system exposes it programmatically, then need to do tests and some studying on each to build cars,timelines, etc. Toronto is on the list, if there's any in particular you want, file an issue on gh, and I'll do my best to get it added in a timely manner. <a href="https://github.com/wafflethief123/publictransit-systems/issues/new/choose" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/wafflethief123/publictransit-systems/issu...</a>
