You had me at trains, build some trains and you can do no wrong my me.

[@arghya4NE]

My my, look who we have here .. a wild Cities Skylines in its natural habitat..lurking among the YT Comments

[@zefrb]

Woah

[@postotakulypse140]

Thank you for supporting KZbinrs like these. T4rget and Biffa are the reason why I came back to the game.

[@KerbalHub]

The god himself

[@krasnamerah1926]

Tips i learned: 1. To create efficient bus lines, place the first stop at the hub, and then another in the furthest place (instead of actually build the intermediate stops right away). 2. Creating a zone for a "standing out" building that filled with low-stories buildings to emphasis the main building itself. As always, great job, T4rget.

[@charlienorthover1702]

Can you explain why that efficient bus route works? I don’t understand. Sorry

[@JainZar1]

@@charlienorthover1702 That way you don't make the bus make unnecessary turns. Especially left turns are bad for busses.

[@benjones4496]

maybe a regional train network would be better suited for the long distances between the different areas? then the busses could complement the train network as a local service

[@rolandaustria7926]

I agree. This is the basic way of connecting the city. Buses are to compliment, not to cover long distances.

[@lonely_adolescent2715]

This channel is such a hidden gem. Very relaxing and satisfying content

[@rolandaustria7926]

This is beautiful. I do feel that perhaps the area isn't utilized much. There's too many roads and paths for too few zoned areas, some aren't even high density. Aesthetically though, it's definitely gorgeous. I love it!

[@Peacich]

Just wait for it. 1st - (traffic) efficiency 2nd - aesthetics 3rd - target masterpiece

Busses for the Bus God. Comments for the algorythm.

[@randallcromer66]

A master piece in the making, the whole city is starting to looking really good. 👍

[@kevinmertel6108]

You're one of the first CS youtubers I subscribed to when I first started playing years ago. Keep up the good work!

[@andya5068]

I love public transportation!! You finally added it to your city and I very much looked forward to seeing this episode🙂🔥

[@watchthe1369]

Expo centers and shuttle busses go together like peanutbutter and jelly. A bus hub by one makes excellent sense.

[@corbetdumas]

First I want to say your channel is my favorite City Skylines creator channel. My tip for the buses clogging when you assign routes is to simply go to each individual route and reduce usage from 100% to 75%. T4rget your builds are genius. I spend an awful amount of time studying the care you take with each design. KUDOS!

[@Styrestian]

As always, amazing build... I would have two bus stops on each side of the road so passengers could go home where they came from. I love the colour of the busses match the colour of the expo-center

[@Jakawuuuuuh]

Good video as always. I really really hope you're going to zone some residentials next video :D

[@dionhoekstra3560]

Man these videos just have such a nice aesthetic and are so relaxing to watch, love the channel!

[@Aninkovsky]

Beautiful city, and i see your channel grow so much, happy for that

[@user56603]

As always, awesome built, I love your style

[@meeoovv]

as always, you made the bus station that actually looks really great. this is so inspiring🥺

[@kuroineko571]

Really nice and functional layout . Your city looks beatutiful.

[@42billybob]

I had a glitch happen to me when playing this map that looks very similar to what you're looking at. The industrial demand just broke. It wasn't just low, it was gone. Didn't matter how much residential I built. Industrial demand just flatlined and never came back.

[@TheRyanK]

I think you forgot bus lines running in the opposite way, unless its a one way trip for everyone :) And you may have to many buses on your lines by default its usually overkill..

[@PauxloE]

In Berlin, the central bus station (where the long-distance buses stop) is also right near the expo center (and a local train station). So nothing wrong about this.

[@AndreMartins-zv1vs]

Amazing as always! Would love to see a bus tour trough the city. Maybe a timelaps on Facebook?

[@ChrisLovesThisGame]

Love seeing new videos! Thanks ☺️

[@seankessel3867]

I think the first way you said Highlands is really preferable

[@LazOyuncu61]

This city really needs some high residential neighborhoods. Big ones, those are. Preferably filling an area that isn’t really valuable just by itself. Like Las Vegas.

[@hardwoodgems]

Great use of the letter 'H' on Highlands!

[@lickkittysplit3871]

T4rget, look at the bus info and see if you need to lower the # of buses to your city. That will alleviate some of the congestion coming in and out of your bus terminal. I always lower it to 4-5. In the begining, that should be plentyfor the city!

[@zero-xg4uf]

wish i could build as well as you do Love your work looking forward to the next one

[@Fuhbags]

Love your content, man.

[@jordanlee7836]

As always, good stuff.

ASMR trees plantings XD Nice...

[@user-fg5td8cm6w]

日本から、毎回楽しく観てます！

[@Owen-kx2se]

looking at the residential demand i guess you'll need to build some residential area in the future😅

[@TonyX448]

Do you have any advice for creating city blocks? I've tried to make them 12x30 units and it works well for vanilla growable buildings (they use all the space without wasting anything) but, when I try to put workshop assets they are too big for my blocks :( I don't know what to do

[@denniskaluzhni5255]

Wish you had more time to make longer episodes, you talked about tree ASMR, man I've been watching your whole series as ASMR haha. Keep it up!

Anyone see that car crash merging from the offramp going left at 6:24? lmao

[@ticompany7529]

Great Video, thanks for the entertainment :)

[@ebanoban]

I love your vídeos, but I think that on the firsts CSL vídeos, when you always used those snow maps, you have had much more careful with the road design. Some roads in this serie, are so unatural designed.

[@zairev3438]

Exactly. I like T4rgets road layout a lot, but in S3 i feels like he shiftin more into looks then functionality, which is not something, that i like. Theres already too much youtube channels focusing on looks, but i liked this one most, because these road layouts were working and there was lot of focus on functionality and optimalization. The only thing that road layouts need to have to look good is consistency and geometric rules (for example i dont rly like that curve near trainstation, because free curve tool is imho the worst thing, that CS can offer). Also using 6 lanes road somewhere, where not a single vehicle use 80% of that road, and the only heavily used intersection on that road have trafic lights is just not cutin well with me.

[@cesarmatiasdiaz2084]

It seems to me that you should manage the number of buses that circulate... ;)

[@WilliamFernandeswilliamwinwill]

So, really nice development, but, I think there too many buses, u should manage that, also, using the idea of hierarchy of public transportation, long distance bus lines isn't a good deal, u should have the lines inside district, and then, metro/train and monorail move around the tiles of the map, bus has a small amount of ppl can take, so, tram and bus should be around district. Anyway, that's a good work done.

[@kevinmertel6108]

@T4rget In the new commercial area, can you fit a pathway under the 6-lane elevated road, along the railroad, between the road that runs behind the train station and the road the software development building is on (easy to spot at the 8:30 mark kzbin.info/www/bejne/joupqH-QYqiHa9k )? That would connected all those tourist building to the commercial area.

[@mejeg]

I actually don't remember if you can do this in no mods, but can you adjust the number of busses on each line? your lines travel so far before they start the game will most likely be adding a lot of extra busses. ps. catching up, so if you fixed this in a future vid, or after 12:57 then nvm :p

[@WeirdViking]

Bought all the missing DLCs in the summer sale yesterday. Started playing 8pm last night. Looked at the clock next at 7:30 am. Ooops!

[@one-short]

maybe add the lines going in the opposite direction as well?

[@konstantinpobedonotsev5589]

Love your videos. Makes me jealous I only have the console version. 🤣

OMG it takes so musch time

This is very nice and all but where’s the parking

[@benjones4496]

yay transit !!

[@drewgzz]

You're a God

[@davidlawand2805]

i see your busses are overwhelmed by people, maybe change it to a tram or metro line?

[@andrej8505]

💪

[@janarchivell]

what dlc is the one that gives you that many roads?

[@ThatMackieGirl]

You're looking for Mass Transit, you can also get the Network Extensions 2 mod if you play on PC.

[@janarchivell]

@@ThatMackieGirl is the mod easy to install? thanks for your response 😊

[@ThatMackieGirl]

@@janarchivell If you have the game on Steam, it's as easy as opening the Steam Workshop, finding Network Extensions 2, and hitting "subscribe". If you don't have Steam, it's a bit more complicated and there are youtube tutorials out there to help you.

[@janarchivell]

@@ThatMackieGirl sorry for the late answer but thank you! it worked

[@superthanatos00]

I feel guilty for building two parks and earn 100+k per week. Traffic is smooth and good because the only outside connection is by train terminal.

[@desousamateus114]

i don't think a skatepark suits well this commercial zone... Mothers leaves their kids skating while go shopping? hahahaahah you should try another leisure for that space, broooo. Also, great content as usual

[@PauxloE]

Did you check how much your buses are used? It looks a bit like you might have just a bit too many of them.

[@adamcg1112]

YOU PIPED DOWN THE ENTIRE THING????

New video!!!

[@evanrodriguez6452]

is he allowed to lower the amount of buses that spawn or is that just a mod? idk the only other person I watch for city skylines is Biffa

[@Capo_Renzo]

I must have OCD because all of these imperfect, non-grid roads and paths make me meltdown and jealous simultaneously

[@CoinOperatedJunge]

I enjoy your videos man. Maybe I'm in the minority here, but could you please deactivate those construction-sounds in the game options? It's kind of distracting and unnecessary. Just a suggestion. Very inspiring content though

[@ioang2742]

Your cities are very well engineered, but they are overengineered. They lack character. you don't get to see their history for example, how a small town with low density becomes a city throughout the decades. That's why your city ist not so realistic, it's more like a Utopia... Also, you could perhaps make a flythrough at the end of your video, so we get to see the city overall ;)
