Why won't my tram pick up any people

[derekwwest]

I am stuck on Mission two in America.
I have built an electric streetcar - Tram - on the southside. It won't PICK UP ANYBODY!!!!
It has been running for 10 years now and it just keeps going in a big loop. I have stops in the residential area, in the comercial area, and the Industrial area. What am I missing?

Loops are bad. Your tram is probably taking so long it's faster for them to walk = no passengers. Run the tram line back and forth on a relatively straight, central road. That should help.

Loops can be bad. But if done right they can be pretty good. But straight lines are best, like Imsvale said.

Perhaps some examples would be helpful in understanding what is effective. Here are my tram lines for that mission.

But, if you live in 2000 or more this way isnt working anymore, because People have cars and most driving by themself.

I have same problem, have build stops, tram station and set a line. But 0 passenger. Then i have read, that i need electricity, so i updated roads and no change.
Why is electric streetcar running without electricity?? Not a bug?
