Bus end stations

[leftbehind]

Is there some way to get passengers on/off the bus at bus end stations?

[melkij]

No. The end stations are for staff use only. (in the game, buses move without staff at all, so the final stations do not imply the presence of people at all)

Bus and train end stations are just a parking facility, for vehicle to wait (important if there are many vehicles on oneline)

Yes, these stations serve to maintain the time interval between vehicles, without the vehicles going slowly on the roads and slowing down traffic, they go to these stations and wait there until they are back on time and they leave to take another route.

It's a shame they don't handle passengers though (yet still have a concrete platform for some reason). Often I don't have the space to place an end station and a bus station (playing on a mountainous map). I'm trying to avoid terraforming the whole map in to a boring flatland.

Better name for them would be Bus Waiting Area.

Bus Buffer?

They are endstations as the line or line´s direction end here. Citizens will not plot their journeys through them and these serve for maintaining line intervals and vehicle refueling. Similar to rl endstations :)

BTW, if there is workshop within "orange range" of end station, would buses will be repaired if needed?

Better yet, "Vehicle waiting area" The key is "end station" rather than "Bus". You can send trucks there too. Get them spaced out and refueled for long journey :).

Afaik yes, i think it will not look how much time it will take vs the time it needs to wait. It will only go out after full repair.

Big brain time - refuel truck and freight trains in end station, instead risking weird behavior during journey.

I got a better one - allow gas stations to be added to lines as forced refueling - much better for longer train journeys

Another big advantage of end station is that You can attach it close to the vehicle repair station and trains/buses going through will be repaired directly from the repair station which is faster and more reliable.

Add it as a destination to a line or how exactly? This sounds interesting!

I tend to NOT do that, as my endstations are pretty busy and 1-2 stationary vehicles would seriously disrupt operations

I notice the last bus station that is just before the end station, the passenger waiting at this stop will not go in the bus because they can't actually be forced to out at the end station.
For exemple if your end station is in your city center and if the last stop is in a nearby remote village outside the city you are forced to build/select the last stop in the city center so the passengers from the tiny village can go in the bus.
