	=== ~~Hot~~ tip! Bridge redundancy ===		=== Important tip: Bridge redundancy ===

	Avoid having your paths rely on single bridges from one station to another, because they can be easily reversed, undermining your path. When possible, support your path using doubled up bridges (i.e. pairs of bridges in opposite directions between the same two stations) so that the bridges can't be reversed by your opponent.
