Bus Depot: "Needs to be connected to lines" error

[BustedHipGaming]

What causes this? I am making a segmented city where the districts do not connect via road, just by train and metro; but with each district having its own bus routes. I have a depot in each district, but unless I connect districts with roads they ALL give me that error.

when you set up a bus route you can specify which depot yo use make sure you are using the correct depots

As Zordork above says. In your case it's not that you 'can' designate a depot, but rather you 'must' designate each depot in each of the isolated districts. Otherwise each bus line in each district will be trying to connect to one or another of the depots in the other districts.

Oh, so it's a matter of "The bus for route X is trying to come from a depot that can't reach it?"

i have a similar issue so rather than post a new thread i will add it here.

i have 2 districts either side of a river, connected by a 2 way 6 lane bridge. One of them has a university and the other has a bus station. i can run a bus line upto the bridge fine but anything after it says "cannot find path" or something like that. If i click the bus station as the start of the route and then click the university instead of running bus stops upto the bridge it manages to make a route over the bridge but will say "cannot find path" when trying to complete the line. and basically any bus stop i try to place if i manage to get a route to the university says cannot find path, even if it is one block away. (no one way roads used, and traffic can get to all the places i mentioned)

Denzarki, do you have a problem with one way streets blocking the bus route?

I realised, after building a tunnel under the river, (which took ages because i had to landscape to get it to work properly) that all the roads that i THOUGHT were 2 way were actually 1 way cutting off half my city from the other side >.< lol
