Bus Stops from Hell

[spoderman_spoody | Lvl 30 Druid]

Hey guys, are the bus stops supposed to be entire buildings essentially? I'm having such a hard time placing them it's not even funny. Every game I know either make them count as a building off road or as a stop on the road itself.

Are you supposed to build them before placing streets or autistically find the right pixel where they fit?

Are they supposed to feel this clunky? Will this be fixed for the future, or are there mods for better bus stops?

Please assist.

Those are just free mud roads bus stop no way to upgrade those, but destroy and build new..and if you talk about bus stops yeah they they are not so pretty.

[vajeeking]

Generally you should be placing stations after deciding what industries a town is going to work in, as transporting workers requires stations, and before placing residences, as every apartment needs to be able to walk to one.

Ideally you have a general idea of what transportation system you'll have in an area and fill it out after placing stations and big buildings.

If you are building new city, yes. But in case of prepopulated map, vanilla bus stops are indeed clumsy.

I totally agree with that and they do need space like a lots so its look ugly in between u city.

I agree.
Maybe it would be nice if we could just plonck a tiny bus stop onto an existing road.
Mostly it´s my fault ´cause I use to build relatively dense.
It is easier if one leave some space.

As it is now a bus stop is a full building which requires acces and egress for vehicles and pedestrians.
Would be not easy or even impossible to have that idea implemented.

Needs to work like Transport Fever to create city bus routes without the clunkiness.

I place the stations of the transit system first,, service buildings (Hospital, supermarket, etc.) second, other buildings after. Also I only use bus-stops as a dropoff point, for passenger pickup I only use the big bus stations.

[MrKrabs]

Same here.

I think in the implementation side bus stops in roads would be easy, just like road signs. The thing is, the game needs a huge amount of citizens for everything, would be silly to have a "road sign" bus stop saying that there are 300 people waiting there.

thank you guys, im gonna check out this tiny bus stop mod. something like a road sign would be perfect, thats how they do it in my town.
