Cities Skylines - First Person Light Rail Ride - Alken

First person ride from Kent Park station to Alken International Airport. The journey is basically a train ride and is almost entirely aboveground.
Fun fact: I added all the audio myself, because I recorded this at 5% of normal game speed so all game audio was messed up

I'm INCREDIBLY satisfied by the meter at the bottom mostly lining up with the video playback meeting. IDK why, ha.

[@SolarCola]

Good to hear! It was quite tricky to get it right so I'm happy to that :)

[@tf-ok]

Hey it's you!

[@thirstly]

“Mostly” you’re such a snot lol.

[@khagemann7462]

TF? OK.

[@JAQREL]

really enjoyed the ride. what a way to introduce the line! love the transit guide and then it morphs onto the real world map, I wish I knew how to do that

[@SolarCola]

I used illustrator, Google "Illustrator Line Morph" and you'll find plenty of tutorials. That does require you to have Illustrator of course, and that's not cheap sadly

[@JAQREL]

@@SolarCola hey thanks a lot man! I think I do have Illustrator

[@サッティクサルカル]

@@SolarCola is it possible in inkscape btw? Loved your video though. The announcements are really eye catching or I should ear catching lmao, especially the "please be aware that this station doesn't has step free access".

[@karatransitfur]

I really love the care and attention that went into this, with the added audio and map and everything - a really fun experience!

[@oliwiam7255]

my laptop is heating up while watching it at 1080p yet i cant imagine playing city like this in cities haha

[@tgb0079]

This is one the most satisfying and calming things I’ve seen

[@FirstPandorath]

Pretty nice little trip. It makes me want to make a video drive-through my half a million pop city. So far I've been concentrating on time-lapses but these videos look fun as well. Keep up the good work!

[@MunSka]

"No step-free access" *Station has lifts* Yez

[@MaxVliet]

There can still be steps at some point between the station platforms and the street entrance lol

[@dudetheman3]

This is so cool! I really like the tunnel under the building at 4:18!

[@drafmine4526]

It's the Berlin Central Station :)

[@AE-mu1jc]

@@drafmine4526 Not really. Only the S-Bahn Station. (S-Bahn is german for public train transport system on normal rails. It can interchange to normal railway stations too. Good for rual places far outside the big cities.)

[@carterunrau4328]

The intro at the beginning was *chef’s kiss*

[@leftcoastfunk]

I enjoyed this way more than I'd care to admit lol. Public transit is the thing I struggle with the most in CSL so it was very satisfying to see it done so incredibly toughtfully and detailed!

[@safe-keeper1042]

Love the production value.

[@LibsZoggt]

I really wish I could build cities like this. Great job

[@SolarCola]

Thank you!

[@jzero90921]

My phone is literally not powerful enough to watch this video. It just buffers the entire time every single other video on this platform works but this one what the fuck

[@jordan7dinodude]

This reminds me so much of the SkyTrain in Vancouver, BC! Absolutely beautiful city!

[@arcadebw]

I enjoyed this so much. It was really relaxing. Great work on the city!

[@Mason-fc8gk]

The announcements are well made. Good job!

[@leejones4497]

[@SonNguyen-hn2tk]

Thanks for the trip :3 :3

[@Martin-dg7it]

Alken? That's a quite nice town in Belgium. :) Good video!

[@SolarCola]

Really? There is a real town named Alken? That's so cool! I based the name on the American town Aspen

[@sboyli]

Alken ist ein Dorf an der Mosel in Deutschland.

[@nile2566]

Thank you

[@sebie2558]

Really awesome all the details

[@M1CAE1.]

The traction motors at 0:18... are they the old District Line D78 Stock?

[@AE-mu1jc]

Thanks for this wonderful video. I love the Berliner Hauptstadt DB S-Bahn Station inside your wonderful city. Of course, one 👍 from me.

[@SolarCola]

Thank you :)

Hey! Can I ask where you got the asset for the brick arch elevated railway visible at briefly on the right at 4:48? Perfect for a London build. Thank you!

Sadly, you're right. The city is mostly dead, I hit the vehicle limit a long time before recording this video so the city was almost devoid of cars and pedestrians :(
