Subject: [PATCH] Adjust train gold refill time and modify fare calculation
 logic

- Reduced the train gold refill time from 600 to 300 ticks for faster resource replenishment.
- Updated fare calculation to use a base length bonus and adjusted congestion fare logic, ensuring that only the net congestion premium is added to the fare.
