    Questions

    How does the random subway station picker work?

    Choose a city and press “Pick a station”. One station is chosen at random from the lines you have selected. There is nothing to install and no account.

    Does every station have the same chance?

    Yes. The stations on the selected lines are gathered once each and one is chosen with equal probability. An interchange with the same name on several lines is included once.

    Can I pick from one line only?

    Yes. Leave only that line checked in the line list.
