Proto: Districts

Multiply each Driver’s Cash by 10.

Create a new subrule of “Routes”, titled “Districts”:

Before it can be driven, each Route must be assigned to a District; the available Districts are listed in the rule defining the Route’s kind.  If a Route in a Driver’s pool does not have a District assigned, the Driver may randomly assign it a District by making an appropriate GNDT roll.

When a Route is Driven, its Crowding Factor (CF) is 1/2 if another Route with the same District has already been Driven that day, or 1 otherwise.  To make it easier to calculate the Crowding Factor, when a Driver Drives a Route, they must note its District in a GNDT comment.

Amend the rule “Downtown” by replacing “1 Cash” with “(10 * CF) Cash”, and by appending:

The Districts available for Downtown Routes are “Train Station”, “Town Square”, “Shopping Mall”, and “Tubternetsville Towers”.

Amend the rule “Airport” by replacing “3 Cash” with “(30 * CF) Cash”, and by appending:

The District available for Airport Routes is “Highway”.
