My city is starting to build its first line of metro system. How can i expect it to economically enchance my city? I suppose people would be more productive because they will be able to get more sleep. Other than that i can see people using less fuel (my country is net importer of oil), less need for imported cars (domestic car production is maily exported), people would be able to find jobs easier which might suppress wages Other than that effects seem mostly social and health related

Initially there will be jobs related to construction. Then there will be jobs related to operation and maintenance. If it's a large enough system this can have knock on effects. For instance machinists or electricians starting up their own businesses in machining or electricity or cannabis, after they get fired from the metro system due to a positive result on a marihuanas test.Additionally, the areas around the metro line may either see gentrification (if city planners get the zoning and tax incentives right) or a concentration of drugs and vagrancy (if they don't). That could lead to better and more retail shops like Jamba Juice and White House Black Market, or it could lead to a surge in nonprofit/social services organizations and a boost in Timberland sales.
