Updates:

The Ministry of Transportation is pleased to announce the completion of the Capitol Subway rail network within the Capitol District. This project has been ongoing for over a year and seeks to increase accessibility to public transport for residents within the area. Commuters may access the rail line at one of many subway stations along the route, including: Meitabashi, Kōzai, Aoyama, Riverside, Meitama, Civic Center, Victoria Park, Hikahimaru, Imeinaba, East Minami, Minami, and Ryōnanagi. The subway line completes a circle around the District and returns to Meitabashi Station upon departure from Ryōnanagi. Note: Connections between the Capitol Subway and Inter-City Link (Red Line) services can be made at Meitabashi and Imeinaba Stations. Connections between the Capitol Subway and South Tobai Link (Blue Line) services can be made at Minami Station.

MiniT is also thrilled to announce the expansion of the Capitol Connect (Pink Line) service, with two additional stations along the route. The new service expansion will serve commuters in the Capitol District neighbourhoods of Calmwater and North End with service via Calmwater and Maramarakawa Stations. Maramarakawa now serves as the new terminus for the Capitol Connect. MiniT has also expanded service on the Inter-City Link (Red Line) service by introducing New Parramatta Station to the New Light Metro network. The upcoming neighbourhood will benefit greatly from proactive efforts by MiniT to introduce public transport prior to the authorisation of new construction by NLC Parliament for the area.

A new map of the New Light Metro rail network has been created for commuters to better understand how to navigate New Light City via the rail network. Residents are encouraged to familiarise themselves with the network map.

The Ministry of Public Housing is pleased to announce that construction of new mixed-use residential units continues to show success in providing residents of New Light City with affordable housing opportunities and ending housing insecurity across our region. The Ministry of Public Housing will continue to construct residential units and encourage local businesses to move in when commercial units are added to the market. MiniHouse encourages all citizens to apply for their housing subsidy prior to move-in to avoid any unnecessary charges. Remember: Housing is Your Right!

The Ministry of Public Utilities is excited to announce the completion of pedestrianisation efforts for the neighbourhood of Victoria Park, with a new promenade having been installed adjacent to Victoria Park Station. The road previously cutting through the neighbourhood has been relocated underground via a bypass tunnel that will allow vehicle traffic to travel through the neighbourhood without interaction between cars and pedestrians.

The Ministry of Safety would like to remind all citizens to refrain from tampering with CCTV cameras. These cameras have been installed by MiniSafe as part of the ongoing crime-reduction program known as Safe Streets NLC. Intentionally damaging a CCTV camera could result in fines or criminal punishment, and reduces MiniSafe's capabilities to prevent criminal activity within our city. Emergencies: Dial 555

The Ministry of Education is pleased to announce that standardised testing scores and graduation rates continue to rise with increased funding for school teacher salaries and educational programs across New Light City. Enrol today to build a better tomorrow!

The Ministry of Health would like to remind all citizens to practice proper hand washing to reduce the spread of disease. Emergencies: Dial 555
