Potato Transit Authority

Potato Transit Authority is a transit group, owned by PotatoCommuter (formerly ARCADIOMAN30).

History
It was founded around late 2019 when the first game, PTA: PCS Classic, was released. A game called Potato Transit: H/S Lines was released later on. The latter game closed around September or October 2020, due to "issues".

On July 31st, 2020, a new PTA game called PTA: Maingame Remake opened with just the D, E, and K lines in the game. It was said this game would open in phases, with Phase 1 being the short section of the D, E, and K lines that was opened. However, it ended up having quite a few issues, and PotatoCommuter announced that the game had been "closed for improvements" on December 28th, 2020. He finally announced the game would be discontinued and closed on January 17th, 2021.

Later games

On January 9th, 2021, the first game since Remake opened, called "The Kennedy Line". It was a big improvement from the first two games, in terms of playability and detail. It was a big success, and recieved a lot of praise from the community. Later, the 11 line was added, running to South Broadway.

On January 10th, 2021, PotatoCommuter announced that they were going to redo all of the PCS lines(except the AirTrain and the Kennedy line), essentially replacing Remake with optimized standards including a lot of the things that had been in Kennedy. This was originally named "Defi", short for "Definitive", but was later renamed to Initium.

The first lines in Initium were the D, E, and K lines, released on July 10th, 2021. They were instantly a huge success, but were closed for a day due to an exploit. Later, the Train to the Plane was added, along with the new PST-7R trains.

On the 19th of September the B line was brought into the Game running from 78th - Waterside to Panthalassic Avenue - Expo Center. There were also new automatic announcements added to the R160A/B, as well as two new gamepass trains being added: R179(including the original 2014 variant) and the PLT4. The branch to 78th - Waterside has had some changes such as open-cut parts and 68th Street being re-opened. Other stations were also opened for the B line, such as Fordham Avenue (only downtown platform towards Panthalassic Avenue - Expo Center is open until all trains get the new driving system ), Halsey Street and Panthalassic Avenue - Expo Center. The R160 was slightly overhauled in the cab, adding current speed, next station, interval, driving time since spawning and what line you are driving. This was key to maps with multiple branches and lines serving different stations, which could all share the same tracks. update 1.3 station 🚉 🚇morning 🌄 🌅 sunny ☀️ night 🌃 🌉 TV 📺 Xbox 🎮

Upcoming games
On the 12th of September, a new game was announced called Ridgeworth. This was planned to be the J/M/N/Q lines, running from Ridgeworth Island to 53rd Street - Madison Avenue or Kazco Square. It was going to be made in the same style as Initium, with all the added features. As of today(Dec 19th, 2021), there are planned to be 3 new trains compared to Fifth Avenue. These trains include the PLT1, PST6R, PST5R, R211, and the PST9. So far, the PST5R and PLT1 have been added, with the PST9 finishing testing. As of now, the game is possible to release by January 2022. Transfer F/V N/Q
