How to get workers into facilities?

[Buntkreuz]

I did everything the tutorial showed me, yet people are standing at the bus stop, the bus stops there, no one gets into.
CLicking it, the bus stop says it has like 40+ Passengers but 0 workers.
Why?
My entire production has stopped because no workers are arriving. I have buses going back and forth, i have 300 people of which only 90 are children.
So i have enough people, i have enough workers (mixed, educated and not), i have buses going back and forth, the routes are correct, people are waiting there, but somehow they are not entering any bus.
They just stand there.

Passengers are not workers.

Passengers want to go to services (food, culture, sport etc). Inside your bus line settings you can forbid buses from picking up passengers and students. This way they won't fill up your busses.

Also if you can fulfill need for services locally your citizens don't need to take the bus to try and fulfill them.

I know what passengers are, that wasnt the question.
The question was why there are no workers at the bus stations.

Is the bus stop full of passengers and students? Could you post a screenshot to help diagnose the problem.

Not enough people. 1500 is minimum for start. Limit jobs in all workplaces

Depends a lot on your setup (and mods). You can setup small villages with less than 500 people.

I think you miss the point and the problem. Did the thought cross your mind that a lack of workforce is no problem when said workforce doesnt arrive at the workplace?
What would 1500 more workers sitting at home and not arriving at any facility help me to accomplish?
Yeah exactly, nothing.
I would prefer to focus on the actual problem, which is not lack of workforce.
It is existing workforce not arriving at a working location by bus.

It has 40 passengers and 9 students/children at the bus stop, 0 workers.

You have 200 workers? Where do they work? Look in overlay 2nd option. Send 1 house to work only at bus stop. Invite 1000 immigrants.

Double check that the workplace is accessible by foot from the bus stop at that end? I remember having problems as workers cannot pass over factory connections. Is your bus line setup to pick up workers?

PS: Try to be nice to ppl who are trying to help you.

Thats the bus stop.

The bus is somehow set to "Cargo Passengers".
I didnt see any option to change that though.
And even if, it wouldnt do a thing. Cant load workers where there arent any.

Its kind ofl ike the game at one point turned all people into passengers instead of workers and now the game doesnt use them as workforce anymore.

Hospital and shop is full of workers in 3 shifts

SOme workplaces can be reached by foot.
But obviously i wouldnt need a bus stop if all workplaces were closeby.
I have setup a construction material industry a bit further away and wanted to carry workers there.
Which worked fine for a few minutes, but then it suddenly stopped working.

I will make a check for that. Thanks.
As a note. I had only a Bar, a Grocery and a Cinema closeby, no other civilian buildings. Only industry and energy.
So there werent enough workplaces to use up all my workforce.
Most of my buildings make use of machines anway, which replaces some workforce (Quarry and Farm for example).

Not enough workers. Where are they?

Cant tell.
Maybe later i spam a few more residential buildings and fill them up. But why do i have over 60+ passengers.
Why arent they working? The statistics say that i have a lot of workers available, but somehow they are busy driving around for no reason.
And icouldnt tell where they are driving. All the leisure/food spots are closeby to be reached via foot.
They only need the bus to reach the workplaces.
Are they just doing roadtrips?

Every workplace needs workers in 3 shifts and 4th is waiting inside. Limit jobs to minimum
