Chapter 3 - Mission 5 (17/18) - Canada: Trams for local transit

[phobos2077]

Can't seem to complete the task to have only trams (streetcar) for "local transit". I've even sold all of my vehicles except trams in cities, yet this task won't complete.

This is the first time I really don't know what to do of the entire campaign. I'd appreciate any pointers if anyone figured this one out.

I don't really remember all the details, but did you ensure that you are taking the people to the places they need to be? I think you have to transport them to the entrance of the mine, not just haul them arround their cities.

The weird thing about this mission is that there aren't any trams in Canada, except in Toronto. And there aren't any trolleybuses, except in Vancouver.

I thought that was a one-time task? Seems like a really long shot but I'll try it. Game wants you to do something very specific but the way it's communicated in campaigns is not stellar.

You only really need transit in Fort Mac in that campaign mission. It's easiest to just build trams from the start (no buses). And the bonus task can be done with buses, as it is outside the city limits.

Yeah but the problem is that I already had trams from the beginning, in all 3 cities carrying people around. I had a few buses for connecting 2 cities but I've sold them. Then I looked over all vehicles in vehicle manager and made sure I only have trams for passenger transport. Still the task didn't trigger.

Weird to me! It should trigger right away if that's the case.

I did that sub mission. I did have a small transit line in Fort Mac. The game ask you to make it a tram line. So I did that ... the sub mission trigger.

Maybe you have to start with buses only in Fort Mac. The rest of the cities ... dont matter.

You don't have to start with buses, no. But yes, all the matters in that mission for transit is Fort Mac.

Hum ... The OP start with trams, that did not work.

The OP also started with intercity buses, and sold them. That could easily have been the effect - that those need to be replaced with trams rather than sold.

That was it! The game expected me to have trams specifically in Fort McMurray. Once I've assigned a tram to a line within this city, the task triggered successfully.
