Street but no buildings on my map

[ch]

I want to play in Brisbane, Australia, but there are not all buildings on my map, just streets and few buildings, so my buses run empty...

What is the problem?

It's the OSM data - or in your case, the lack thereof. The number of passengers is directly tied to the amount of buildings on the map, so the game sees it as having no passengers to pick up. I'd suggest learning how to edit OSM to add in some of the missing buildings before the map data is updated again somepoint in the new year.

How do we go about editing the map? A walk-through would be nice.

It is a huge problem because there are a lot of cities without buildings...

Here is a YouTube tutorial on editing OSM data. Good luck.

You can edit the OpenStreetMap. It is a open data for everyone, but it also needs everyone edit as a volunteer.

So, is the mapdata only updated in game around new year?

The developers will update the map eventually. Until then, we have to be patient and look elsewhere to start our bus ventures.

And if you can, you can find which one in real is not shown on OSM, and then you can complete the map data until the next map data update.

In the area I play in there was an error in a street so that it is one way and also a lot of buildings missing (like whole villages) so no passengers. I have updated it on OSM, but you mean that the game uses old data?
I thought it downloaded data when you expanded the map at least.
Have they stored the whole OSM world map on their own servers?

The game won't update the data as the OSM. All data are downloaded before. The game help me find missings and errors on OSM.

That is probably the case. They have the OSM maps of a certain date and use them as the base of the game. Maybe the OpenStreetMap data has to be prepared for use in the game, so that a real time use of the most recent map is not possible.
