I understand that transport has a placement cost and a maintinance but it costs more to keep it running than we earn in ticket nlt. Does this seem odd to anyone else? Also im quite suprised someone hasnt modded it to fix it? Showing 1 — 10 of 10 comments. My city makes a profit on both metro and bus lines without the need for mods. Trains are another matter as they are all lumped together, both passenger and freight.

Especially how satisfying it is to link up different types. Good public transit is vital for the health of most cities. Use the right mix and you can make extremely efficient systems that keep most private cars off the roads. My tourism guide talks about those though. In the best systems, people move up and down the hierarchy. Fast, high-capacity systems are the trunk and people use increasingly localised forms of transit to get to and from their destination. The main difference, really, is the capacity and throughput of each type. The humble bus. It carries 30 people and is great for getting them from home to their middle and long distance travel connections. Bus stops are best opposite each other at regular intervals. Avoid putting too many bus lines through the same stops or queueing buses will create jams. In bus-heavy cities use the Bus Station to ease that pressure. Then either organise lines with turning circles at either end or make two contract-rotating lines. Each new line reduces the depot cost per bus. The biofuel versions that arrived in the Green Cities DLC are basically the same but make less noise so are better for residential areas. Arriving in the Snowfall DLC , trams are among my favourite things in the game. Each tram can carry 90 people instead of 30 and as well as running along upgraded roads, you can lay tram-only tracks. That opens up options to create your own tram stations and shortcuts that make trams a much faster option than driving. Trams bridge the gap nicely between buses and metros. In any public transport system people walk during the journey: from home to the bus stop, from there to the train, etc. But you can also turn walking into a serious form of local transport. People seem to be willing to walk further on paths than pavements, and will even take a path if the route is longer. As well as creating paths between roads, you can create whole networks of bridges and underpasses that cut right across neighbourhoods. The metro is probably the best form of transport in the game. Instead, build stations next to each other oh, how I long for a vanilla multi-platform metro hub and people will gladly walk from one to the other. If you can, make your main line a complete loop so all stations can use both platforms at the same time. The metro is quite expensive but once you get close to capacity you can turn a reasonable profit. Its speed means it can do the heavy lifting for the entire city, replacing almost all other types if you want it to.

Most of them have hundreds of passengers and are quite efficient. Profit is sometimes positive, sometimes negative, but nothing outstading. I’m able to also create one or two efficient subway lines, but they have a great deficit on the weekly balance. The remaining are just plain useless. Even the airport feels like it shouldn’t be there, although I do make a lot of money out of tourists, so maybe I should build one, but I feel that 70k pop ain’t enough for that
