| This is the Bricktopia transit terminal.
It ties together the main monorail and train lines in the city. The architecture of the building is a bizarre blend of art-deco, gothic, and modern. Its multiple layers of girders and pipes give it a highly industrial look similar to a factory or oil refinery. The monorail permits fast, easy transit within the city, while the train allows travel to other cities. Both systems may be used without charge by registered citizens of Bricktopia. Foreigners are charged a wildly outrageous "transit tax" amounting to several hundred dollars in order to ride the monorail. The tax for a train ride is well over a thousand dollars. The press has criticized the government for such outrageous taxes claiming that it hurts tourism. The mayor, a known isolationist, has replied "If you don't like it, then don't come to our city!"

These pictures show the right side of the building. This side contains a curved lookout area used by the train traffic controller. A large tower projects upwards on the other edge of the building to allow the monorail controller to view nearly the entire city.

In the back of the station is a park & ride garage.
The large hoses are the smoke evacuation system. The building has the largest interior open space in Bricktopia. City law required that powerful ventilation systems be installed to evacuate smoke the case of a fire. If a fire breaks out, fans in the purple housings pull massive amounts of air from the interior of the structure and expel it harmlessly into the atmosphere.
Also note the red arrow. This is used as an indicator as to whether the monorail is stopped, in reverse, or going forward. In an emergency, this indicator can be turned to actually affect the direction of the monorail.
