Kawaii Train Simulator

Kawaii Train Simulator, known as Kawaii Island Metro is a subway system based on the Sao Paulo Metro, serving the city of Kawaii Island and its outskirts.

Overview
Currently, the system has one line (green, numbered as 30- Hortela) running between Campo Largo and Vila Andrade, with connections to Kawaii Island Bus services at Santana and Japan-Liberty stations. The system also interchanges with the CPTM suburban railway system at Novo Recanto Station, although the CPTM trains in the station are static and not available to ride.

You must be in the Kawaii Train Simulator group to drive trains although anyone is able to ride whenever trains are running (being in the Kawaii Bus Simulator group does not make you eligible). Conductors can also be roleplayed as necessary.

Trains will drop off passengers before heading into the yard at each end of the line so they can be respawned. Currently, it is not possible to turn trains around as the only have one working cab (the rear cab is for decoration only). The platforms, however are longer than the current 2-car sets so they can be expanded to 6 cars if necessary.

There are four stations that are not underground: Vila Andrade, Sao Gabriel, Novo Recanto and Campo Largo, with the two stations in downtown Kawaii Island: Japan-Liberty and Santana underground.

WARNING: Do not touch the third rail for any reason- if you do, you will be electrocuted and immediately respawned.

History
In early October 2021, Thekawaiidsv3012 was able to secure Alstom Serie I rolling stock in 2 and 6-car formations. These trains were tested and proved to work, with the 2-car sets entering service on October 20, 2021. The map was built by joaoopenbve as the system could not use its leaked testing map. In Kawaii Bus Simulator, advertising for the subway appeared in early October 2021 and both systems are integrated.

On the first day of service, many bugs were reported including trains frequently derailing. This was fixed with multiple updates although trains continued to derail randomly. Before long, CAF trains were also running on the line in a bid to increase variety.

On October 21, 2021, the KTS and KBS maps were leaked by an unknown individual, causing them to be temporarily made private. The games reopened a short time later; however joaoopenbve was no longer interested in the project and refused to continue development. This resulted in the game being permanently shut down on October 23, 2021, just only after four days of service. However, Kawaii Bus Simulator remains operational and subway replacement buses are to operate between Santana and Liberdade stations indefinitely. In the meantime, KBS admins plan to resolve the situation with joaoopenbve.

On December 7, 2021, KTS reopened with Serie L sets in service after the admin team managed to renegotiate with and rehire joaoopenbve. In the future, the group plans to operate replacement bus services if needed to further integrate both maps. On December 8, 2021, Alstom G Series sets were added to the system. Both types of train set have a holiday variant in service during the festive period.

On December 18, 2021, first-generation A Series trains went into service, these being the first gamepass trains with 4 cars instead of 2. Frota F series trains were also added on December 19, 2021.

In early January 2022, Kawaii Train Simulator had its first extension, extending the line two stops to Dom Pedro and Sumaré. This effectively turned Line 30 into the metro line for Kawaii Island, with an extension connecting it to the Sao Paulo bus system. Line 30 also has an imaginary connection with Kawaii Island Metro Line 1 at Santana and Japao-Liberdade stations.

As of late January 2022, Porto Allegre Metro trains are being tested using 4 and 6-car sets, the latter consisting of 2 EMUs with a conductor's cab on second EMU. While only the first cab can drive the train, the second cab can control doors and lighting.

In early February 2022, the game closed again for an unknown reason.

Fleet
Initially, two models were used in service: the CAF Serie H and Alstom Serie I; upon resumption of service, the L-series (refurbished Mafesa sets) are now used and more sets have been introduced, including refurbished G and H sets. Trains are mostly in two-car formations, although more models are set to enter service in the future.
