I can see a game like that taking shape. I think that due to the scope of a city, the old solution of "taking the subway" might need to be done.

That could hurt the "let's follow the guy everyone" thing though...
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
