Public transport is a joke...

[Thunder]

After almost 31h of playing, I am wondering if someone was ever testing this game before release. Those developers videos were made for a video, not to show real game. I left positive review, but as I see I will have to change it to negative. The only thing that is working is building houses, roads. But when it comes to public transport routes, it is a joke. It is not even funny how that behave.

what do you mean, the lack of dedicated lanes for bus and street car?

I'm moving 60k people a month, they act well, what's your actual problem?

[Brixen]

LoL ... whats your Problem. U should Not only complain ... you should at least Tell us what Your fkcing Problem is. Arent you able to draw Routes? Is nobody using your routes or what the hell is your Problem? My Bus routes are working as intended and at a Population of 50k inhabitans nearly 30k are using my Busses per month ...

[fiese Fee™]

I smell skill problems.

hmm my public transport seems to work fine..

What kind of issue are you having ?

[Thunder]

Tram/train on street should be one-direction like in real life. But instead, they select track that is free. Then they come to error and despawn. Both trains and trams are doing that. I didn't came to a point where Metro is needed (100k+ city). Imagine 10 simple tram routes, but they never finish any of them, because they select wrong track and despawn. And when it comes to crossroads using tram tracks, all tracks are connected with all directions instead of connecting tracks in same direction. CS1 didn't have this problem at all.
I don't believe you didn't have this problem with your tram/train lines.
Airplanes are not moving cargo at all, same like cargo trains outside city (well, trains at least import something). Passenger trains are not transporting any citizens/tourist outside city borders. Same like ships. At least intercity trains are working, if they find correct track and not despawn.
Note, I have 300h+ in CS1, not newbie to this game.

You're not the only one that hand to change their positive review to negative after playing for a while.

In a city of 250k my public transportation was hauling around 120k people/month.

Not sure what issue OP has, but I barely have 2-3 people in a bus at a time. 10k population and almost no one uses my buses. I even reduced the number of buses for each of my 3 lines to the minimum so that at least cims have time to gather in stops. I also made it free.

This is normal, hillbillys in a small town love their cars and distances between job an home are short. Bus usage will grow fast

Set your city policy for taxis fare to 50. Should help reduce taxi use and increase other public transportation use

I had your issue when I first started my tram line. Sounds like a problem solving skill issue.
I was able to fix mine in 15 mins cause I was just plopping tram lines without thinking how they function.

public transportation isn't a joke, thats why you gotta get better at it.(as long as it isn't a bug)

I had this issue as well where no one uses my buses. Fixed it by placing bus stops where I use the info tab to see where folks frequent the most in commercial zones and properly place them where they are needed. Fixed the issue and now my bus utilization is up as well as my trams.

I went tram (plus some supporting bus routes)..... have inner pedestrian roads (to avoid mixing trams with traffic) and have a grid of them 3x4 V/H in the island map with 160k population...... most lines have 2000-3000 passengers at any time and move 130k a month
trams have a few quirks and bugs but work mostly fine
bus routes work well aswell, still havent placed subway

Train stations should be freely expandable with platform modules that can be added as many times side by side as you wish. The position of the platforms should also be adjustable.

This would allow for customizable and much bigger train stations - i.e. 3 or 8 sets of platform pairs, just add in modules as you wish.

Some other service buildings already have modules that can be placed many times, so this would be easily implementable in train stations.

Modules for elevated platforms, as well as underground and elevated stations themselves, should also be added in.
