I'd recommend that people who like OpenTTD try out Simutrans[0] as well. It's far less polished, and many aspects of it are much worse, but it adds a few things that OpenTTD is missing (like flexible underground/elevated routes) and feels like a much better simulation, particularly of passenger transport. After playing Simutrans, I find OpenTTD's passenger destination model kind of weak, as it seems to generate passengers to based on your network. Instead, Simutrans generates passenger journeys between populated locations at random, and then works out whether they can use your network to complete them. The resulting usage patterns feel much more realistic to me. Unfortunately the development feels kind of fractured. It allows for different "paksets" which can change most aspects of the game, including the UI. But this seems to have lead to essentially half a dozen versions of the game which all have their own deficiencies. Additionally there's also an experimental version, but only one pakset really works with it. [0] https://www.simutrans.com/en/ https://www.simutrans.com/en/
