Bus and Tram?

[Winewolf]

Can buses and trams share the same stops? The stations say bus/tram. I have a bus line going and then I set a tram line to the same stops as the buses. I built a tram, but when I try to assign it to the line, it won't let me.

Yes. As long as there is a tram connection. Tram tracks are really just road upgrades that buses can already travel on.

It's a bit of a bug I would say , at the moment when you update roads with tram tracks the stops don't automatically become tram stops as well they have to be deleted and re-placed . If you delete and replace on pause the stops should take up the lines that they had previously.

You might be missing a tram track path from the depot.

I never had to replace the Stops they automaticly changed.

Yeah it changes when you add the route . Never tested that .

A good way to validate is to look and see if the line you want to be a tram line updates to only show in the tram visible section. If it doesn't, it's not a complete tram route.

I did it guys. I have buses and trams using the same stops. I did not have to delete and rebuild them. It was automatic.

The icon does not change immediately, but otherwise, bus stops convert to bus/tram stops as expected.

Don't need to replace them, just wait for a passenger or vehicle to arrive at them and they'll update, it's just a cosmetic glitch really.

And yeh you can trams, buses etc all picking up and dropping off. I usually leave the buses on adding in 1-2 trams, then eventually remove the buses and keep only trams on the line. Depending on city.. really. Sometimes a mix of both is the best solution for the number of passengers available.
