Why It's Good For The Game

They kinda suck. Make em faster!

tweak: Speeds up Transit Pods

This may or may not be meant to make Tube Station bearable.

For reference they are faster than base run speed

[PowerfulBacon]

The reason pods are so slow is because they sit at stations for like 5 seconds before moving. Even if you double the speed of the pods, they will still spend 80% of their time sitting at a station doing nothing.

While this won't change smaller tube system speeds, it certainly increases speed for larger ones, allowing mapmakers to have interesting options for creating maps(Tubestation for example). The idea is to move most of the wait time for a pod to be the load/unload and not the actual moving of the pod.
