Taxi Stand

[Mr Jay]

Mine don't work. Is it just me?

[Sandiozo]

you mean no taxis go to stand there? If so its just because they are all busy. They only stand there if they have nothing to do

[hup]

And is the taxi depot are closed then the taxi are done with the job
They drive to the depot

Don't bother making it since it has no way to make a profit , it will only generate loss

Mine don't work either. It appears the taxi is just a cosmetic thing. My taxis make like 50 dollars, cost me 300 with stands and yet none of the stands have taxi's waiting. So if they are not waiting, wouldn't they be making money? It just appears to be a cosmetic thing.

no taxi's at stands is a good thing, because that means that they are all working. But indeed, it seems like they are not profitable ever

You won't ever make money off of transport, period. It's there to free up the roads, and get people where they want to go without having to get a car.

Thats not true. my metro's do make a profit. But i did increase their capacity

I don't believe you.

[p.kwaker]

believe it or not, it certainly is the case

I wouldn't bother with the stand. With the amount of space it takes up you may as well just place a full depot - you need a ton of them to fulfill demand anyway.

In my game, taxis are bugged if you increase the budget. They dissapear before going to the stand, then port to the depot instead. I moved the slider back to default (100%) and recreated the depots. Now everything is working again (yes, they go to the stands now when not picking up cims). I recommend leaving the budget at 100% till they fix it.

Ive yet to see one use a stand at all!

I usually put them near other transportation - Especially far away from the nearest depot. Luxury Line harbour? A stand. Big, district train station? Taxi. Airport? Taxi.

I haven't tried putting them inside of the city near landmarks though - Their size is a bit weird tbh. Hoping someone can manage to mod them into the road pieces somehow. That's how their work here at least. Either as parking spaces marked for taxis - Or in the gap inbetween the lanes in Avenues.

Ive done the same Mansen, still no "cars to the rank". Plus I think the depot should have more than a max of 25 cars tbh. 50 would seem better.

It's a pretty small depot. Maybe a modder can make a larger one, based on a parking garage? I like believable buildings. :)
