I’ve already made a similar suggestion before, and now I’ve formulated it as a separate topic - [07.28.26] Путешествия между городами на машине и поезде (и, возможно, самолёте)
I like the idea of participating in the journey process itself, but all these “everyday” moments like modernization, maintenance, and bustling stations and airports - it seems unnecessary to me. It would be enough to have just some small conditional place where our journey begins, but without constant activity there when our character isn’t traveling anywhere. Then the journey process itself becomes important, rather than rebuilding cities to create the appearance of lively activity, which doesn’t add anything of value in itself.
