In Endless mode, the stations don’t have limited capacity, while in Extreme mode, the lines between multiple trains stations can’t be adjusted once the position of the lines is set. In normal mode, each station has a limited capacity to accommodate passengers. It has three different modes such as Extreme, Normal, and Endless. Lots of passengers reach the station with a shape that identifies the location where the passenger has to travel. The player can build multiple routes to link train stations by drawing lines between them, and each route has its unique color. Multiple shaped nodes offer the train stations.
There are lots of levels, and each level starts with three stations. In the game, the primary task of the player is to create an efficient network for a growing city. The game offers the levels based on realistic cities, passengers and the appearance of the stations. The instructor must create a game before students can play.Mini Metro mixes the Strategy and Puzzle elements and supports Single-player mode developed and published by Dinosaur Polo Club.

For additional information on the game, please refer to the 2015 DSJIE Outstanding Teaching Brief: Giraud-Carrier, F.C. Instructors who would like to use the game in class can download the teaching note from here. The Freeway Game helps students understand negative externalities and develop ways of at least partially neutralizing their undesirable effects. A toll can be used to internalize the traffic externality and eliminate the congestion. As a result, it takes too long for people to commute. In the Freeway Game, a traffic externality causes congestion on the freeway. When a decision maker does not account for all the costs or benefits associated with a decision, there exists what economists call an 'externality.' Externalities are commonplace, and can cause significant problems (or create significant benefits) for firms and society. When deciding whether to get on the freeway during rush hour, did you ever stop to consider that if you did so, you would slow everybody ELSE down? When we ask our students that question, they typically laugh-their only consideration is how long their own trip will take. In the game, traffic congestion is simulated to demonstrate the effect of a negative externality.
Understanding this concept is important because when externalities are present, the outcome of free markets may lead to situations that are socially undesirable (e.g., too much pollution or not enough private investment in education and research).
The Freeway Game was created to help students come to grips with the concept of 'externality'.
