The most common mistake people make is that they think the metro needs to be a loop, but it can run on a line too!

The BABE system has both 🙂

Nah, it's more like a cultural thing I think, maybe because in America, transit systems are not well designed in major cities, or sometimes almost non-existent.. Just take a look to asian or european city players and you'll notice

I would have made the loop like Timeister did but the "main line" going past the stations then giving each station its own on and off track to and from the main-line loop around the city.

@@gabrielaguileraurrutia5085 I lived in Seoul ...been to Tokyo and live in NYC ....Ive always made a loop line since Sim City 4 based on Seouls green line. When I rode it it was fully above ground too in 2002. It's what NYC lacks ...well until we do this Interboro RX!!! I consider myself a master subway builder. I'm new to Cities Skylines but I love the dual bypass stations from my SC4 wishlist. Can't wait to see them on console in this new game.

An alternative to an overground station at the airport would be to place 2 underground stations at each terminal and have the track loop back on itself, like the picadilly line does on the London underground at Heathrow

Hey man, sorry for my delayed response so I don't know if you"ll read this, but thanks for building this :D Looks like the *BABE* just works! I'm looking forwards to see the future branch line extensions being build overground like streetcar-suburbs, except they're subways. Hopefully soon we'll see the rise of the *BUTT* -network (Bixton Universal trolley-tram - network), either way, I hope you had fun building this :D

I think in the future if they one day add subway stations above the road like the last game you should replace some of the stations with that. Because I mean right now it looks weird I mean a subway under a low density zone doesn’t look right.

I think there should be more at grade but unfortunately for some reason you can’t have level crossing which is a step back, even without that the tunnel under the river should become a bridge so you can see the metros and you have more interesting bridges also for realism as most metros I know go over a bridge across a river and then go back into the tunnel

İ also just added an underground subway network to my city... What a coincidence? Also, don't forget that there are also upgrades to almost every building in CS2. They really help out! Additionally, when you are working underground, there is almost always a button to enable the underground view. Helps out when building and fine tuning things. Can't wait for the Mega project. Super excited 😁

@sagnikgangopadhyay4687 4 ай бұрын

Generally metro stations should be within 2 kilometres maximum, some places it's 1.5 kilometres. Paris metro, nobody has to walk more than 500 metres for a metro.. so 1 km distance between stations.

@flamingoLake 4 ай бұрын

I really think some more care needs to be done placing lines overground. basically no metros are completely underground, and some key areas should really be overground. for example: the airport station that goes directly to the yard should be overground before going underground. The station on the giant nature reserve should really be overground, and that line should be overground as well right before entering the city.

Metro looks good, though all of your one-way tracks are leaving the subway depot, none coming back in. Think that's why you couldn't merge the two one-way tracks into a two-way track.

Hey, I would put the subway hub parallel to the highway. I think it would look like it belongs. Also, you can run a subway under the highway.

@ShaunWilliams 4 ай бұрын

Loving your videos. Train stations and maybe the airport have subway upgrades. Also you should put parking near the stations so that sims can drive to near the station then walk from parking to the satation. You will get more usage. Also the trains can reverse, no need for a looped track just go back and the train will reverse and run back. Also I can see what you were trying to do when mergin 2 single tracks into a double, but remember the double is 1 each way. So you can do 2 singles merging nice into a double so long as the singles are 1 in each direction, not the same.

@damnimloomin 4 ай бұрын

I love how phase 1 turned out subways do really have that much capacity the only real difference to heavy rail is they legally cannot commingle other than that a subway system is basically a commuter rail system. I think you should develop areas right by your stations to all have medium or higher density as that would probably really happen in real life, but i also think you should redo your entire bus network to feed off of your subway like most real cities do! Try to make busses be the 1st/last leg of the journey and all of the long distance travel be on the subway. I also think it would make more sense if you had to parallel rail corridors running through bixton to eliminate the S bend and to make your spur lines seem to have more of a purpose. You could have the subways going east to west and have bus lines in bixton to go north and south like manhattan. This also will help split subway traffic by having trunk lines running through bixton like manhattans 1/2/3 and 4/5/6 lines so the red line and the green line are separate but both run through bixton. My last suggestion for your eventual phase two is to change your one way lines from the depot into two way so the loop is just not needed at the depot and then you’ll have room to add another depot right behind the first one when you need it. If you have traffic build up at the airport station it would be easy to make a bypass right under the station.

From the yard you go underground, go up at the airport and down again. Why not stay underground, and leave the parkinglots alone?? So much struggle for nothing.

It'd have been cool to make the subway emerge from the ground at the train tunnel to run parallel runder the park... aesthetic would be cool with subway trains and regular running side by side. Really any small above ground sections would be cool! Also, you better get to some of this TOD around the stations you made... I didn't forget my comment from last week 👀😂

Idk if there are any upgrades to the stations, but in most cities, lines doesnt share the same line. A great example is Budapest's metro system. The lines cross, but not directly. A station has multiple levels for different lines. Also, I think that the train stations can have an metro line upgrade but not really sure.

You should place lots of tourist atractions in the main urban park on the peninsula hill. Also you should start massiive upscaling in down town; on peninsula side of river wall high density apartment skyscrapers with high density offices and comercials doted now and then while on the other sound of the wall entirely high density offices. Also you need massive industrial build up, you've had massive industrial demand for quiet some time now.

@thedoctor4637 4 ай бұрын

You don’t need to build turn arounds at line terminuses (ends). The train will just reverse out of the station and switch tracks. Also, in CS1, I had a station out of the way, so the metro trains just reversed out of the and continued on the other set of tracks, like the station was at the bottom of a Y. (Don’t know if this works in CS2, I assume so.)

@jayfielding1333 4 ай бұрын

Traditionally agencies avoid terminating rail services in central business districts because of exactly the reason you had a problem - turn around is painful. Realistically, you would keep running the line out of the city to another spur and the trains would turn around there.

@lucasschorm9377 4 ай бұрын

Maybe you could consider joining some of the spike lines using some of the main loop rails. This way passengers have more than one line in downtown to use, which should balance the load even better and passengers would not have to switch lines, when leaving the main loop. E.g. ‚Airport to sunset street bedfort’ or ‚Bedfort to technical university‘… i think this could add even more realism since i don’t know any Lines in major metro systems that only serve 3 stations. Other than that i enjoyed todays video a lot.:)

@red5t653 4 ай бұрын

Considering the limited track space (there's only two platforms and also there's a line that keeps going straight through the station) yes that loop absolutely was needed. New York's subway actually has a loop exactly like it where one train terminates but the rest keep going, so to short turn without losing a bunch of capacity they use the old loop through the original station to quickly turn around.

I really like your city but your public transit makes no sense. It's different options for transportations all going to the same places and basically just different choices to get to the same place. If you get off of one part of the public transport, for example the metro or train there is no way to get onto a bus or anything. If there is a bus it just goes to basically the same places. The achievement is called spidderwebbing with a reason, you want to create a spiderweb with a main line and different lines branching off. Currently it's just one big loop with all the transports basically doing the same.
