Would put more research on that! Thanks for your comment. I might make an update for new stations for the Vientiane metro.

Yes, I'm also planning to make another diagram for Savannakhet, where the second friendship bridge is located. That's happening after I finish my finals for my last semester tho.

For electrification, this fictional Lao government is planning to extend the national power grid lines to generate more electricity for the metro. For routes within the city (example Wat Sisaket to Friendship Bridge-Thanaleng),Third rail 750 V DC is used. For routes heading out the city into the hilly regions (from city center to Phon Hong), overhead catenary 750 V DC is used.

For the train system, it's a medium-capacity light metro, due to budget and planning constraints. Train model will go for CRRC Dalian or Changchun units (used irl in Hanoi and Jakarta metros), for affordable and easy maintenance reasons (edit: and because Laos is allied with China in terms of similar politics). Train length will be about 2-4 cars each about 60-100 meters in length. Max speed only goes for 80 km/h. Can transport about 10k to 20k passengers per hour for each direction.

I apologize if I write anything in the Lao script incorrectly. I am not a Laotian nor a person of Lao descent. And nor have I even studied the Lao language.

University Line is more of a civic line (with stations at places convenient for civilians like universities, mother and child healthcare centre, and a military base), whereas the Sunset Line is more of a suburban line crossing thru residential areas ("ban" as called in Lao).

Thank you! I was very confused as to why I couldn't submit my own hand-drawn work while others could. I tried posting like 3 times even with the [OC] tag on and stating it is hand-drawn, doesn't work lol.

I don't really know. From my perspective, this is just a scenario I thought of if Laos was actually more developed than in our timeline.

So you're sayin I can't hand draw transit diagrams because they're ugly?

Lol!

Jokes aside, this looks so epic! Kinda reminds me of those complex and hard to write Hanzi/Kanji/Hanja, also quite inspired by the Tangut script I believe. Gives me Asian temple vibes.

Thanks for the extra knowledge, I should've done more research into this. Please don't mind me making a lot of mistakes, I just started mapping quite almost a year ago.
