Bus Stop

[Yehoodi]

Does anyone have a handy video on how bus stops work?

I am not sure and I have passengers just sitting at my three bus stops and do not get on buses. The bus stops are evenly distributed throughout the city.

I noticed buttons that can be pushed and i tried using them. All that happen was folks from one bus stop (near apts.) get on and go to the one near a museum. But none go to the factory bus stop.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Have you checked on some individual passengers so you can see what they need? For the most part, they flock to the bus stop in hopes that a bus would get them to a place where they can fulfill that specific need.

Of course, you want workers riding the buses to your factories, not passengers. Generally, to get more workers, try to have their needs fulfilled when they're on their free time.

You can forbid passengers and students to allow only workers using a bus stop

There is a YouTube video made by Forged73 on the subject:

This Youtube guide has become obsolete due to recent changes with forcing transfers on stops between means of transport

Just do a test with unlimited money and you will notice quite fast how it works.

Its a matter of the buttons. You can choose who is allowed where and what bus line they can board and so on.

Even though i have busstops that can take "any" traveler, i do have line that only accepts certain workers, students, or passengers and it works fine. I use the big bus station as that station can handle multiple inbound buses without a jam.
And in the worst case scenario were you are so crowded, do try and use "only allowed" at this station, and set up stations for workers, students and passengers, that should sort it out.

Somehow it all got a lot easier when i separated houses and commercial buildings (food, sport, bar, cloth...).

Great Thanks . . . yes, when i get a chance will do a dry run with a fresh game and funds. Thanks for the tips, very helpful and appreciated. It is just a matter of me getting use to the buttons. Also, I can now not worry as much about the location of my residences.
