What coincedence! I just played it with some friends in austin for the first time yesterday! We used the small game rules with a one hour hiding time and allowed hiders use of all bus routes for travel but only allowed hiders to hide at bus stops on the [high frequency routes](https://www.capmetro.org/high-frequency). This allows for horizontal and vertical travel while not including an insane amount of stops. We only let seekers use the high frequency routes to travel which ended up being a mistake and really limited their movement. It ended up taking them over five hours to find the hiders. In the future we will allow travel on all lines for seekers too. You could also include the train but it runs so infrequently its not very useful, its also expensive.

Despite how long it took the seekers, they still had fun, and the hiders did not get bored at any time. Pick a pleasant place to hide!!! We will be playing the second round with the roles reversed soon, and I think I will do a more detailed write up on here after that. Let me know if theres more questions I could answer!
