@@808sscy4 I think, but I'm not sure, that you pretty much need to extend the nodes before and after the turns/lane changes to fix this, because all the vehicles seem to have the same turning radius, and I think it's based on the space available in the node. But I agree, this has been one of my top complaints from day one, the lane changes and turns are sometimes just jarring, especially for larger vehicles.

@@TrippaMazing87 Which is weird, you'd think they would be extended instead. It's a clean and efficient way of power your buses, and nowadays you could even add smaller batteries to the buses for some last mile off-wire routes that would be charged in wired territory. The alternative is putting very large batteries in every bus and while it's certainly feasible, it means a lot of added cost per bus so high-density bus routes will become quite expensive and you still need some form of fast charging infrastructure at the very least at end stops.

@@dijikstra8 they added a trolleybus in my city with this battery extensions as a higher capacity way to get to the airport (double articulated buses).

I did some rearranging to get room for an airport and suddenly my population was going down, even though all stats for happiness was great and not seeing abandoned buildings. Before seeking help to find out what was happening, I lost almost 20,000 cims. After finding out about the bug when researching and looking for a fix for a long time, I did find the "bye bye homeless" mod and that fixed it for me immediately. I'm back up to almost 150,000 cims. That bug is a whopper and will look forward to it being fixed.

I keep running into the same idea problems with bus stations (both sizes). 1. Busses eventually in a conga line waiting to get into the station but can't because pedestrians are crossing over the entrance (usually go walk into the bus station). This backs up all traffic around the bus station. 2. When that isn't happening, busses cannot exit the station because busses waiting to enter are blocking them. This, too, eventually leads to a long line of busses that block traffic, though it can be alleviated somewhat by using a one-way road. Ideas on how to avoid both of these issues?
@CityPlannerPlays
@CityPlannerPlays 4 ай бұрын
A few things: 1 - make sure that you don't have unnecessary buses on your routes by reducing the number on any route with more than 100% utilization. 2 - add a rear access. I didn't cover that and should have, but people can exit my facility in all directions, which is why the conga never happens 2 - make sure you don't have too many bus routes at any station. Fill the bays, but no more. If you do more, you'll have a bad time everytime.

I also plan my bus routes in that way, that enter or leaving a bus station should never cross another lane. As a perspective example: Rotate the camera until the entrance and exit are both on the bottom. Now all incoming buslanes are coming from the right and all leaving buslanes are leaving to the left. As I am using right side traffic^^ Left turns are always more time expensive than right turns, as you have to let more other traffic participant go. When logistic companies try to optimize a route it is absolute valid to prefer 3 right turns against one left turn, as an extreme example. Often they adjust the route so long until that is not needed. And of course depends on the situation^^

Hey! Just one minor detail. In the transit hub you created, where the tram enters at both sides, you have tiny nodes near the big intersection. You were talking about making it pedestrian friendly, so I think removing unnecessary cross walks there would be a nice improvement for that. Those tiny nodes also lack big sidewalks (I think they still have parking but it is too small to work). Amazing episode anyway. I'm really enjoying the series!

Please implement this change, the tram lines don t make sense and would be very annoying to use irl: combine the black and wight line into one and have a tram stop on the other side of the road where the bus station is (in the direction where you incresed the zoning dencity where the double tunnel is), but still have the stop behind the bus station for the direction towords the bus and tram depot. This will improve connectivity since passangers won't need to change trams that would kill ridership irl.

You want to talk about insane routing for busses leaving a bus station? When they built the main station in Worcester, MA about ten years ago they made it so busses could only just pull out and go straight if they're going north of the station. If they have to go east the turn out of the station and go into an adjacent roundabout and out. If they have to go west or south, they have to turn right and go ALL THE WAY AROUND the roundabout because the station is on a street with a median.

Yeah, in general when buses turn, they have the same turn radius as small cars, this is a bit of an issue IMO. I don't think it can be fixed without simply extending the nodes because that's where they can turn/change lanes I believe, assuming it works the same as in CS1 which I think it does look like.

I don't really play CS that much, but these videos are so cool to watch. At 46:50 you increased the minimum taxi fare to make other forms of public transit more desirable, which I found reflected in my personal experiences, which was interesting. I live in a very rural, and very car-centric area in Louisiana, and there is absolutely no form of public transit here at all, with the small exception of some dirty old buses that nobody really uses. I was lucky enough to get a chance to travel to Japan this summer, and the public transit and pedestrian access there was so amazing I wanted to never leave. Sometimes we took the taxi for a short ride somewhere but the taxi fare was extremely high, running somewhere near 2500 yen, when taking the train from the same starting and ending destinations could usually sum up to about 150 yen. Now that I'm back in Louisiana, I sincerely miss the sights, sounds, and public transit of Japan. This was a pretty awesome video, thanks for making it!

As a bus driver, the placement of a bus station is crucial to ensure safety and efficiency. One key aspect is the prevention of unprotected left turns. Unprotected left turns can be hazardous, especially in busy traffic conditions, as they require the driver to cross oncoming traffic lanes without the aid of traffic signals or stop signs. This increases the risk of collisions and can lead to significant delays.

I usually start with using buses, but when 20 buses isn’t enough to carry all the passengers, it’s time to start thinking about using something bigger. This is something that happens often, look for example at the Finch West LRT in the York Region of Toronto. When it opens, it’s supposed to replace a crowded bus route.

I know higher denisty will come sometime in the future, and that the way you do it makes way more sense than increasing it asap. But would be fun to see how high denisty, and extremely urbanized areas function in the game. Just a suggestion :) Keep up the amazing work!

Something that is often overlooked when planning transit is that all buses and trams should be part of a larger interconected system. All busses and trams should either pass through one or several larger transit hubs (which should all interconnect through transit options themselves) or be connected to a transit option which does pass through a hub. This increases the utlity and availability of the transit system and is much more realistic as this is how it is done in many real life cities with highly functional transit systems (atleast in europe).

Hello I have a CS2 test city with almost 1 million sims. Im going to give you facts and gems about transport in CS2 coming from someone with a city big enough to push CS2 to the limits. 1. CPP should of explained BRT more because its a mid point for a city before rail investment. 2. Trams have signal priority if you have a street long enough and busy enough intersecting other streets without trams you will notice trams getting longer greens and the other streets getting shorter greens. This may cause backup on non tram streets. 3. Bus lines have max limit of buses for each lines. With almost 1million sims this sucks because every street don't need trams or metros because adjacent streets have this. My best solution is max out the ticket price but is almost did nothing. 4 Don't place tram stops close to cross walks or switches because they will disappear. 5. Elevated metro stations work on 6+ wide streets but they just don't have power that just mean lights wont work. they pick up and drop off a ok. 6. underground metro stations can be connected close together so basically two surface entrances for one mega station or two or more merged stations. There's a station in Chicago that is the longest station platform in the world you could beat that station with this technique in CS2. 7. Metro trains is what you should use as a regional system because they hold 1000 passengers and Trains hold 800 and change passengers. 8 like CS1 CS2 transit vehicles hold more than the advertised capacity. 9. Road stacking plus Trams/Buses and paths will take your transit system to a whole new level of creativity and functionality.(BRT) 10. Underground tram stops is thing when you use paths. 11. To increase transit utilization on your map make street parking only available in residential industrial low density office and some commercial streets. parking at stations make free and everywhere else make it max price at garages and most lots. Suburban retail areas are free to mimic real life. Ill stop with 11 for now cause i'm still growing my test city.

Thanks for these guides!! As a long time player of CS1 (and honestly, the original SimCity back in '89) you're helping me hone my skills to make 'realistic' cities. It's also helping me get acclimated to CS2; which I purchased after the 'detailers patch' was released. One question, should I be upgrading certain city services? For example, I've been following along with this current beginners guide as closely as I possibly can. I've got the map and am trying to emulate every step you take. I'm currently working on the interchanges from the 2nd 'lesson'. That said, I have a population of about 5,500. My elementary school has been packed full for some time and apparently my medical clinic is overflowing (29/25). Should I upgrade these even though you haven't covered service upgrades? I'm most concerned about the education factor since (at least within CS1) poorly educated cims eventually impacted employers by not having enough educated workers. Should I expand the elementary school and add a HS? Just wondering if we should be doing 'homework' in between lessons. lol

Yes you should. That's actually what we're going to do in the next one! Work on balancing city services. If I were playing outside of the guide, I may have done that before this.

32:12 this specific example of bus-only lanes is unfortunate in that CCP implies that most traffic will use the left lane. However, especially since this is a collector, most general purpose traffic will go straight on; an option only served by the bus lane. A wider road might give turn lanes for the general purpose traffic , or a mod like tmpe could be used to address these problems.

You’ve also got high commercial demand. I think that it would make sense to put mixed use along the tram routes and row houses on the side streets that adjoin them. This matches what I’ve seen in real cities that developed along tram lines. Too bad that amusement parks aren’t in CS2 (yet) as putting one of those at the end of a tram line would also be realistic.

I don't know if you ever read old comments, but I have a question about your placement of bus stops. I live in the Netherlands and our public transport infrastructure is really good (even though we tend to complain about it a lot). My question is why do you place your bus stops after the intersections? It sounds illogical to always place them after. Many of the places where you put them would not have a seperate area where the bus stops, so it would just stop on the road. When the lights turn green the cars have to wait on the bus on the intersection which is really unsafe and makes traffic flow less efficient. If you place them before, there often is a red light the bus has to wait anyway so it does not matter. Is the reason you do it because of the game mechanic to always place a seperate bus stop parking or is there another reason?

I really think you could simplify your entire transit plaza if you rotated the bus station 180 degrees. Then, you can have the tram tracks be on the main road (or just adjacent to it) and all your bus routes will emerge on a parallel road rather than on the arterial already competing with trams. It also avoids all the pedestrian conflicts you've created for yourself.

Hi - First comment. Love your channel. You might have avoided those left hand turns if you'd placed the terminal on the other side of Main Street.

• IRL, you’ll often see buses that replace metro lines during the night, for example in Miami. But that won’t work in Cities: Skylines 1 because transit routes will have the same amount of riders at night and day. Hope that’s different in Cities: Skylines 2. • Is it possible to give roads that have trams priority at intersections? I know it’s possible in CS1 by adding stop signs but can you do it in CS2? • Also i think i would have had 2 tram routes that cross at the bus terminal instead of multiple short ones. This would be better for ridership and they are trams, not buses.

Love the quality of your content. One note for the editor, you music is always 1 notch too loud compared to your voice. I find myself turning the volume up and down often in your videos, trying to keep the music sections from being noticeably loud in my workspace.

Great video! Just a question... isn't a population of only 7000 a bit small for a tram system?

My city is mainly bus + underground subway. Do I really need to put trams in my city? What is a good gauage of public transport ridership? Traffic flow is slight above 60% - I think that's the "normal" range?

I would like to see a guide on realistic heavy industrial areas. Thinking places like west valley Utah, Pocatello Idaho, ect. Would love to see a great way to make those huge factories and the zoned industrial mesh nice and be a great industrial sector for the city
