Hmmm, which one, I wonder?

Strangely enough (holy simultaneous invention, Batman!) there's a
similar card I had made up:

DODGE SCOOT / Gear (Vehicle) / 2Y
1Y: User may visit a second Location this turn.

This makes a funny combination with the Ancients HQ....

But how about redesigning the above two:

MONORAIL PASS / Gear (Miscellaneous) / 2Y
User may visit any Location with a Monorail Station played on it. After
each visit, roll D6 (1Y for +1 to roll): On a 5+, user may unturn and
visit a different Location.

MONORAIL STATION / Special / 0Y
Play on target Location. This Location may be visited by any Runner
using a Monorail Pass (regardless of who owns Location).

(This sort of simulates a Runner travelling inbound on a train.)

The one drawback I can think of is Troll Bouncer: Now you have a way to
pay back any "activation cost" it might cost to visit the Location --
your opponent won't want to visit because you score the yen; but the
opportunity to line your own pockets is there.
