Problems with cars, traffic, parking and car stops

[Overlord]

Hello. I've encountered some problems related to cars. I will start with the most occuring one problem:
1) All my car stops have exclamation point that there is waiting 15/15 people. Also at the same time no cars are visible at my airport (only taxis, buses, trucks, no passenger cars). I have large parking spots (both long and short-term). Turning OFF and ON all my car stops help this issue for few minutes until they are full again.
2) People are stuck at my parking spots. I have sidewalks connections I have pedestrian crossing but still they are stucked there (see screenshot gallery). I tried different parking spots design (with sidewalk, without sidewalk, with sidewalk in front and also in the back - nothing helped.

At first pictures you can see people stucked on my parking lots. After I turn them OFF/ON many people will "emerge" and they start to move (a lot of them). Pictures 1-4 people stuck - picture 5 - people moving

Next 3 pictures - different parking lots design - nothing prevents people from being stuck
Last 3 pictures - people stuck at my small car stops

Any help is very apprreciated. Thank you all.

imo you should put more car stops, parking lots and or try a subway station. I think, you have so many passengers that are coming and going through your airport, and the car stops can't keep up with the demand. I have experienced this with my bus stops, so at the time, I was able to plop a subway station and that cleared up the issue.

This doesn't help at all. Game spawns far too few buses, taxis and private cars to begin with. More stops you make, same amount of vehicles still keep appearing. I got 8 bus stops and the amount of buses per day is about the same as for 1 stop.

This has been an issue for quite awhile. Been asking for a spreadsheet for amount of pax dropoff and pickup per mode (car, taxi, bus, subway) so as to plan an appropriate landside transport hub.
One thing I have notice is that the pathing seems to be set in stone. If you delete and rebuild a drop off point is totally confuses the sprite.
Unfortunately the devs are introducing more context instead of polishing what is already in play (I call it the Ark Happens way).
Long story short, your going to have to deal with it for awhile. Unfortunately.

Yeah thats what I thought. Well I can every 30 minutes turn OFF and ON these parking lots and drop off points. It is annoying but what you can do - right? More annoying is that these people are coming because of some flight and when they wont reach airport they wont reach the plane which is waiting for them - it results in delayed flights when plane is waiting for 1-2 passengers only and they are not slowed down because I chose bad design of my check-in-security-terminal they are slowed down because they are stuck at some stupid parking lots.
And you are right about the content instead of polishing. Almost every devs studio works like that. To be honest the content in this game is needed because after some 5 hours I have everything at my airport and purchased all lands and just redoing terminals and building new airport from scratch which is prepared for large and medium planes.

i had to delete all my parking lots.. for some reason if there is a full parking lot all the cars stop coming in.

Yeah man. I do it all the time ON/OFF and every hour I rebuilt all the parking lots and sometimes even the small parking stands (drop offs) because people are stucked here and I lost all the common cars traffic - it seems to me that the best tactic is to do not use the parking lots and save you some nerves until they fix it.
