System Upgrades
System upgrades are categorized into two main groups: Green and Red. Each group corresponds to the experience points you earn from their respective trains. Green upgrades cater to the management of Commuter and IC trains, while Red upgrades are tailored for Freights, Regional, and Urban trains.
Within each group, you'll find three tiers of upgrades. To advance to the next tier, you must accumulate a specific number of experience points during a single cycle. I.e., you have to dispatch a given number of trains on time per 60 minutes.
