I think transport hubs would be fun like an airpot or a few subway stations maby even a port I alwas imagend Windenburg & Brindleton Bay, as islands El Salvidor is obvously in a diffrent country. here is how i see it working.
You have a new section on the phone called transport and unde transport you have
Airport
Port
subways are diffrent but we will get to that
when you cooe one of thes option you get ataken to a new offscreen lot like in get to work
a Port or Airport below is a rundown of intractions that you can do in each of these hubs
Airports
Take off:
1.Buy a ticket
2.check in your bags and go through paassport control.
3.hang around in the departure loung go get a bite to eat browes the shops air side.
4.Go to your gate and bord the aircraft.

The sims could even get moodlets like "pleasant trip", "smelly place" (in the subway, I live in Paris, so trust me on that), or anything else.
And why carry baggage with you? It's not like you need baggage to go to another world. And going on vacation to GF or SD and going to all that time and effort with or without baggage just to get to the same place I could have gone much faster and with less effort, no thanks.
For me, the game is about where my sim is and what they can do there, not how my sim got there.
I view this as a game pack so if someone doesn’t want it they don’t have to have it.
To stay interesting long-term there need to be a random factor included. Example: Klepto sims grabbing your bags before you can claim them back or another family mistaking your baggage for theirs. Maybe even the weapons scanner malfunctioning and your sim getting taken aside by the police.
If the waiting lounge sold postcards that aren't available elsewhere (or the more rare ones of the hamster and bg collection) that would be an added incentive to use the extended travel system.
