Transport Capacity

[francobenj]

Hello everyone,

I'm trying to increase the size of the airport (2/3 done yet) but i already am at the maximum transport capacity. Is there a way to increase it?

Here is the link to the airport:

The only real option you have is to increase the arrival frequencies to their limits. Apart from that, once you have LRT and busses coming in as often as possible, that's it for now.

It is a request for future expansion and the devs are looking into possibilities, but no firm commitments as of yet as far as I know.

That's what i thought. If you have any idea how to make it more efficient, I take^^
I guess i'll have to wait for the devs to improve that parameter

Larger drop-off zones seem to help, but that's only if the busses are stacking up and waiting for a turn. If they're sliding right in for drop off, then the zone's big enough.

Sorry, Franco.

Multiple drop off and pick up zones would help, also the ability to have more than one lrt station. Most large airports have multiple drop off zones.

Perhaps, but you can't do that as a player, and the idea has been lofted multiple times. Besides, airports with multiple drop offs are set up that way for widely spread terminals handling different airlines - not really the case on the scale the game is operating on.

Out of curiosity, what is the maximum transit capacity that you've hit?

I'll have a look. It is set at maximun now (buses and ltr every 15mins) and i have still people that waits a lot...

Franco, quick question I should've thought to ask earlier: are you getting traffic jams out on the road that are preventing busses from showing up on time?

Absolutely not. They tend to stack up at peak time but the arrival and departure areas are big enough to deal with that
