Transit Hub

The Transit Hub was a part of the Rapture Metro. It was used to connect the citizens of Rapture in the Welcome Center complex to the Medical Pavilion and Neptune's Bounty.

History
The Transit Hub provided an indirect link from Neptune's Bounty to the Medical Pavilion via the Welcome Center. The station was adorned by a grand four-faced clock suspended above the room,and there was a designated place where citizens could get their shoes shined. Working class citizens would often pass through the Hub on their way to the ever-popular Footlight Theater after a long day's work at Neptune's Bounty. Once a bustling center of activity, the Transit Hub was rocked by the Civil War and suffered serious structural damage. Now, the main staircase has collapsed, the clock has fallen, the skylight leaks, and facility is littered with debris.

BioShock
After exiting the Footlight Theater, Jack enters a corridor connecting the Transit Hub to The Footlight Theater and the Kashmir Restaurant. A Lady Smith Leadhead Splicer will dart down the hallway and open fire. Around the corner is the Transit Hub, proper; a Thuggish Splicer scrounging though some trash will flip out and attack as Jack enters. Two Thuggish Splicers search through a dead Big Daddy on the staircase landing, use Electrobolt to finish off the splicers and search all three bodies for loot.

The staircase has fallen away, so after jumping down, there's no way back. There are a few supplies scatted around the station, in the restrooms, and in the storage crates, but not much else. However, upon approaching the corridor to Neptune's Bounty, Andrew Ryan will trigger a lock down, the security gate will close, and one of the rare flamethrower turrests will appaer from a compartment in the floor. While Atlas tries to override the security, splicers will attack in two waves.

Atlas is able to open the security gate to the Medical Pavilion corridor and instructs Jack to flee. Just before reaching the bulkhead to Medical, Ryan once again intervenes. He delivers some parting words before leaving Jack to the mercy of an angry mob of splicers. Fortunately, the bulkead is opened and Jack escapes to the Medical Pavilion.

Trivia

 * A pair of restrooms is located in the Hub. Although there are seperate entrances for men and women, they are both strangely connected from within nonetheless.
