It won't be possible to recreate the public transport system of Cologne
100%, as there is a mixed trasm/subway system, i.e. trams run parts of
their lines as subways, but I think within the limitations of the game,
the map should be able to be identifiable

At least it should be a bit closer to the orignal than the Cologne Map by CO....

Here are a few tips to play the map:
- Set the traffic denistiy to 40% or less. Otherwise you will have to fight with crowded streets a lot.
- Use Trams and Busses with high capatcity as some parts of the map will create a lot of passengers.
- If you want to recrate the "real" tram lines, take a look at
http://www.kvb-koeln.de/german/fahrplan/linienplan.html, you will find the line plans there:
2011: Bahnen in Köln (909 kB) = Tram lines
2011: Busnetz linksrheinisch (928 kB) = Busses left of the Rhine river
2011: Busnetz rechtsrheinisch (919 kB) = Busses right of the Rhine river
With the hint of google maps, you should be able to build some realistic lines.
