Increase the travel willingness
Like the title says, i was wondering if anyone had any clear ideas on how to increase this consistently. I have plenty of buses and bus routes yet I'm stuck at 33% and need 51%, so if you good people have any ideas, could i please hear them.

Cheers

Make sure your routes capture POI's these will increase the percentage of passengers.

I asked about, and never got an answer, concerning how/if people actually move between routes.

In theory, if one had a route that ran the full length of a commercial (POI) street, but had few residential buildings. And if one also had a route that was heavily residential buildings, then you could gather up people from residential and take them to one of the stops on the commercial route and they would transfer.

I have no idea if that works, if bus riders transfer routes, how many times they might transfer routes, is there a time limit .. no one has answered any of those questions.

Also, IF people transfer routes .. does a bus need to go from a stop on one route and connect to a stop on the other route .. OR .. do the two stops just need to be inside each other's circle of influence?

Are your routes covering most/the whole of the area you have unlocked? Because the figure is averaged out across the population of that area, maybe doing more in smaller towns and villages would help. I would also think upgrading buses to make them more luxurious would increase willingness.

I may be wrong, but from observation, I don't think passengers can switch between routes yet, which is a shame, hopefully that's something they'll decide to implement if they haven't.
Thanks for the responses and will put you suggestion into practise @Possibly this

@jhughes I honestly can't answer that, I haven't looked into the game that much as of yet

Cheers
