Re: Proposal idea - Bridges
I'd recommend substantially increasing the cost of building a bridge, and/or disallow players from using their own bridges. At $500 each it is far to easy to build insane amounts of bridges and have a free transportation system around the board, and there won't be any reason at all to use another player's bridge.
Another idea, perhaps players could set the price for using their bridges (rather than it always being $100). Combine this idea with players not being able to use their own bridges, and we'll have a whole new strategic element as players compete for business.
