they should set fire base zulu up as a transport hub, allowing the gate there to 'dial out' to different zones in our dimension.

I'd prefer to see a more "mundane" solution to mass transport issues - seeing as we're living in a modern-day city, how about a modern-day city approach to mass transport?
There's all these bus stops littered around the city, but the PTA (paragon transport authority) seems to have forgotten to provide us with any buses...
So, I'd like to see the addition of bus transport, for a nominal amount of influence per journey so the monorail remains as a free method of travel around the city. (I originally thought of taxis, but the bus stops are already there)
Talos Island to Atlas Park? Certainly. That'll be 1500 influence, hop aboard.
Founders Falls to King's Row? 3000 influence, etc
(run up to a bus stop, click the stop sign, chose from a tram-style menu & off you go - buses dropping you off at a specific location in the target zone, so travel powers are still useful - like, say, outside the police station in King's Row or infront of City Hall in Atlas Park, etc.)
Also, causes the least amount of hassle for the zone building department as it'd be extensable to new zone without having to build new monorail lines (which I'd guess is the main reason why we'd not see a "blue line" appear in Paragon City)
(I'm going to gloss-over and ignore the somewhat amusing notion of bumping into Captain Fantabulous riding the bus to work in the morning, urging the driver to go faster as there's hostages in peril on the other side of town
