Hi! You receive a little bit of extra time with each passenger that you successfully return to Central Station. So you earn gold when picking them up from the satellite stations (passengers purchasing their ticket lets say lol) and then you earn score points and time when they reach their destination. But yes, game balance is definitely something we well be paying close attention to after the jam's voting window closes today. As well as considering other feedback, the high score screen is on our list for example! Thank you for playing our game and taking your time to comment!
