I just discovered cargodist, and am looking forward to building passenger networks, as I normally focus on other cargo.

Does anyone have any strategies for how to best lay out passenger networks?

Do you focus on connecting big towns first and then branching off from there to smaller destinations, building large mainlines that towns can join onto, or naturally evolving and joining smaller networks to each other?

I often find passenger networks difficult to plan, and end up with quite messy point-to-point services. I’m hoping this will naturally guide me to build better networks.
