What types of activities do you prefer?

Thank you in advance for your participation in my poll.

I would have voted for two choices ... 2nd choice would be Local Freight as a change every now and then.

Long distance freight all the way. Coal drag freights and fast freights are my niche.

Usually do long hauls Passenger 1 and long haul freight 2, with a mix of the other stuff.

I apologize. I enabled the "multiple choices" feature afterward.

It would be interesting to see the geographic data of the choices, I would suspect North American to favor long haul freight, while European, India, and other continents favor passenger....US is woefully behind rest of world in high speed passenger rail.

I would have voted in the order the choices were presented....given only one choice, I selected long distance passenger. I find it enjoyable to run in accordance with a timetable.

I enjoy the challenge of switching cars (or shunting wagons as we say over here) at various local locations. I find that lots of AI traffic really makes the activity much more enjoyable.

Long-distance freight transport is most relaxing for me. But on the other hand switching acts are challenging.

I much prefer keeping busy switching cars on short runs or turns instead snoozing through 1 to 2 hours of scenery flying by....JMO

Activities seem like the wrong way to do things - When I think of activities, images of failed activities come to mind for any number of reasons - typically bugs in the activity code, but often some kind of driver error on my part. This often left me frustrated when running any of the train sims that use Activities.

Run8 has spoiled me here on the freight side - every car has a destination and I just work the railroad to get the cars where they need to be.
Any car at its final destination for more than a day gets a new destination.
So the Run8 industry system basically is unlimited and infinite activities where I decide what to do, how to do it and in what order.

I enjoy long hauls with long heavy trains. Also, an occasional transfer job between nearby yards is fun.

I view Open Rails as a game played for fun rather than a train simulator. I know there are some who feel the other way around.

I'm okay with any type of activity, actually.
