This Masterpiece is What You Need to Build To Save Your Traffic!

[@I_No-one_I]

For the trams, a cool idea for a more old-school tram would be the Czech Tatra T3, or if that is a bit too old the 14T and 15T are also great options. (BTW the old T3 trams (1962-97) are still running alongside the new ones in Prague, built to last)

[@vieavona318]

The Recycling Drop Off Center also works in conjunction with the other buildings from the Modular Recycling collection by avanya (such as the Recycling Sorting Center which you did already place). There are two versions of the collection, one which requires Sunset Harbor and another one which doesn't; for full functionality, make sure that you got the one with Sunset Harbor. They will do the same job as the vanilla Waste Processing Complex while allowing for more creativity and creating goods for the city.

I’m really loving this episode for transit hubs. You always do amazing biffa. A like for yet another video I support of your amazing videos. I kinda feel like I need to stop watching them the second I get the chance just so I have some videos to catch up on. Your series are like a binge watch of tv shows for some of us people.

Many thanks 😁👍

[@Dethflash]

Biffa you using all these custom houses has inspired me, and i took the plunge. I got the mods, and i made a rural American town with some nice RICO ploppables. Its simply fantastic! Thanks again for showing me how, and inspiring me Biffa

[@eldolly]

Hi Biffa You can also use the new bus highways to connect the hub directly to the highways

[@mies1mies]

please can you build a monorail line and a cabelcar line

[@memediatek]

Cablecars are impractical most of the time

[@Sparkiebc]

They’re fun to build and look at but they’re objectively the worst modes of transit. Cable cars have very low throughput, meaning they can only really be used to scale steep slopes with transit service Monorails, oh boy where do I begin, leaving out all their problems irl and just focusing on this game. Too expensive to build Too expensive to maintain Far Less throughput than a train (despite requiring the same amount of space to build) Very hard to build fluent networks, usually point to point Their only real benefit is that you can run them in a median of a road, which isn’t even that important when you have mods. Over-road train+metro tracks exist, as well as better elevated stations. Bud Rapid Transit can also utilize space in a road right of way, as well as a tram. Overall just no real reason to build one unless you like the aesthetic or want to use it as a tourist attraction

A welcome start to the weekend. Can I suggest a taxi rank near the train station/bus hub. Never used a sightseeing tour bus before and am looking forward to trying that next. Loving the new city, giving me plenty of ideas 💡. Have a good weekend in the Biffa household.

[@aveekbh]

Also, direct pedestrian access from the parking lot to the train station, please (presuming there is a pedestrian "back" entrance to the train station0.

[@0V3CHKiN]

12:00 I would have put the train station where you put the bus depot. Make a side road off that main one where it connects both bus depot and train station. Train station is farther back where you have more room to manipulate the track. It's also taking up less room where you can place more things down like maybe parking.

[@noemierollindedebeaumont1130]

I agree, that way no horky-borky road connections !

[@QemeH]

As much as I had to say about the bus hub and its fugly metal barriers, I now have to say: This modal connector / transit hub you built this episode is amazingly beautiful. And the best part is: You manage to make it look good while still being realistic - there's a hyper modern train station, but the bus depot looks like it was built in the 80s and just refurbished, while the green space around has a definitive manecured-but-made-to-look-natural vibe going on. I also like that you included parking, but not at exzessive levels. It feels like a space that was a really ugly edge-of-town port of entry, maybe it even had its own highway exit once but that was removed, that was then recently "done up" as a project to grow the city along the transit axis.

[@generalsociety9607]

Hi Biffa. Since you asked for tram models, I recommend the Alstom loop tram (capacity:75) for low-medium ridership routes. For medium-high ridership routes, I use the City Tram (capacity:120). And then, for very high ridership routes, I recommend the E-Class Tram Melbourne (capacity:210). As you can see, I don't use the in-game trams because I think they look rather hideous.

[@Francois424]

Also Biffa, use "Temple Lantern" for those light that turns off at day light. Use the "Find It" toolbar to find them easy. I put some on my train station and comes day they turn off ! -- Enjoy !

[@zaerinelle1513]

A connection from the highway to the intercity bus hub would be beneficial. As the busses are coming from outside the city, they will come on the highways. At the moment, they'll have to cut through your town to get there, and sometimes the game generates a lot of intercity busses and it clogs things up. Love the new area, looks great. Also, I've never made much use of the sightseeing tours (only once) and didn't know that the game showed you where the places of interest are. That's a cool thing to know! Thanks.

[@Caegofy]

Great suggestion :+1:

[@jinxero475]

The Tourist Bus; best I can figure is the model is anchored to the road from the front axel area. Since the bus is wider then the road, the front axel is on the portion of the road that is going 'up' but the route is down. The basic coding to exit the depot is probably 'turn left out of building', but to get to the route, it needs to make a U-turn, so its performing all of these at once.

[@amysteele2488]

I came to a similar conclusion... they're definitely doing a complete 360, and I thought it's because the front end of the bus is protruding onto the left turn carriageway so they have to turn that way to go right

[@TheSilverwing999]

I think you are one of the last creators to actually genuinely make me feel happy and laugh when I watch. Keep up the work!

[@eak125]

I really do miss Biffa decorating parks with rocks. I always saw it as the quintessential Biffa build and it's just so rare these days... Glad to see at the end but am hoping for more.

[@Francois424]

@21:31 -- Look for "Alstom Citadis 302 & 402 - colored edition 2.0" on the workshop I am a huge fan of the "402" myself which I use in all my builds where I use trams. It looks really good, and as said in the name, also takes color of your line into account Give it a try ! 🙂 Thanks for the vid !

[@Warren_L.]

I second this motion. I've made a custom livery for myself for the 302 & 402 (it's a Ryde version, but Blue Thunder hasn't posted them to the workshop yet), and would be delighted to create a Biffalo County version for you.

[@graememoore4830]

I 2nd the Alsom Citadis model. Loved the look of them in Bordeaux - shame that City Skylines won't let them pick up power from the road, like they do in the city centre of Bordeaux.

[@SiEO0702]

Try moving the bus station back a bit from the road maybe that will fix it's weird drive-out into the middle of the road. ref@ 25:30

[@marktaylor6553]

As an American who lives in the suburbs, I find 'dead ends' just weird, especially when connections could do so much for traffic flow in some spots (at least in my region - I can't speak for the rest of this country, and cities all have tons of 'em). My eye was twitching when you didn't hook the other end of the bus depot road to anything. LOL; Cul-de-sacs are different - we have plenty of those. In residential areas its fine to simply end a road, but not so much in commercial areas (industrial areas also use mostly dead-ends). A business on a dead-end tends to not stay in-business for long.

[@lauraproulx4684]

Thanks for the great tips in this video Biffa! This is such a beautiful build. I never know where to put in my train stations, and have never incorporated trams yet. I'll have to give it a try in my city!

[@ianlimacher2883]

Really glad you sorted the tram turn rounds, that was spinning me out. Also, I honestly think you made a mistake with the new square of land. The lake and river to the sea looks perfect for a big natural park area and you badly need more land for housing. I know whatever you do will look awesome as always, I just really hope i turns into some sort of park.

[@alex72194]

As tram models I can highly recommend the Stadler Variobahn. I take this tram every day (I live in Graz, Austria) when I go to work and they're so good. Very spacious and very modern looking. There are a few available on the Steam workshop so no problems there.

[@kathiseprowse5555]

Biffa - well maintained and fully functional waste water processing plant will never smell. That part is a myth (I did work in such facility before). The smell comes only if something in the chain of cleaning doesn't function properly. Most of the time its bacterial imbalances BUT it also can be caused by aeration systems beeing broken.

[@thesheq5023]

I feel like a bus only highway connection right by the depot might make a lot of sense for the intercity busses

[@davidneibig]

Surely it's easier/quicker/neater (not least to provide a consistent offset) to use the parallel road mode from network multitool, to add the fences that follow (but don't even have to be directly alongside) roads/train tracks/retaining walls (or any other network)

[@richardlanglois172]

I'm confused by the American flags whenever Biffa says "dee-po." Is that recognized as a particularly American pronunciation over "deh-po"? Also, Biffa, for the tram bridge going over the major river: from just beside the sightseeing bus depot to the bridge proper, you'll want the Slope tool (there's a single segment that's particularly steep). And then, for the bridge itself: that last segment on the fishery side can be made the same length as all the rest by using the "Arrange at Line" tool (from Network Multitool); thsy tool will distribute all the nodes evenly across the selected length. Lovely video, as always. I look forward to waking up Saturdays to your vids, they're my morning coffee TV.

[@sadbear101]

If you want to push the tourist angle, maybe it’s time for one or two unique buildings or maybe some hotels?

[@mgunter]

Maybe you can make the lane down the middle a pedestrian bus lane so they don't stop in front of people. Otherwise I'd suggest adding a lane wen they stop so they 'pull over' to sightsee.

[@memediatek]

I've used DLR trains as trams before, it works well due to the larger capacity, especially if you use the 6/3 car variant (tfl call 2 articulated cars as 1 car)

[@leeroberts1192]

A mistake I often see Biffa making is not using flying junctions when joining two train lines, flying junctions make train lines scale better as you don't get trains held up by other trains changing lines

[@RJW00dy]

Name suggestion for a bridge/a future district that has a bridge: Bridge over the river Chai

[@memofromessex]

My biggest advice would flip the railway around and put on the bus lane and then connect that to the main road. This way you get the railway of the mainroad and connect the bus terminal directly to the railway

Bus lines needs to stop at the farm main building to cut that route (travel time) down, and start the farm shuttle from there.

[@rickyellard8297]

Just an idea I had while you were building the railway/bus hub. What about putting railway at the back, railway can then pass under new bridge sections, u may have room for both directions on main line. Won't need tunnels, just put in bridge sections. Similar to what u did with intercity building. Then place other buildings facing railway station, so not on main road. Road between them, including pedestrian crossings. All buses, trams can stop on road between the buildings. It can even be one way from main road as a loop. Think it will look better, all stops will then be off main road when it starts to become much busier. Keep up the great video's.

[@noemierollindedebeaumont1130]

I’d recommend adding a bus line to run from the intercity bus depot to the big bus depot you built in the last episode without any other stops in between. Would help get tourists into the city quicker than the other bus line that has tons of stops and is across the train station

[@SynSpiderz]

1:08 the T, a very strong shape right there

[@bobroberts2581]

Oi Biffa, did you know you can use the1-2 segment long bus-only pedestrian lanes to add mid street crosswalks with lights, and you don’t need to have placed any pedistrian zone to use it. I’ve been using it when I have walking paths connecting zoned industry to residential across rivers/lakes. Bridge over the river. Little bus lane pedestrian road on and boom, a node added with 0 congestion outside of active pedestrian presence.

[@tg6301]

One thing i always notice is when everyone builds bridge no one seems to take into consideration, most bridges are taller in the middle or at each end if coming off a cliff to allow for enough room for boats to have a way past them. Great build as always. 👍

Love the idea of the train station and the intercity bus station but I think if the developer did intact own all that land, they would build a train station that wouldn’t require a pedestrian bridge. They would want to have very easy walk ability between the stations.

[@danielposch7031]

Another good theme for the city is to have the statue of Libertea on an island or peninsula for a tourist location.

[@dmore]

Are the sightseeing busses getting confused because there’s a median road (they spawn half across the median) going immediately into that stop you put down to manipulate their turning point? I feel like the bus tunnel is a little unrealistic, it would have cost a fortune! Maybe you’d be better connecting it straight to the highway, then using the new highway with bus lanes and bringing it into the city that way. You could also upgrade the couplet with highways with bus lanes too so you can have buses in your pedestrian area.

[@aveekbh]

Although I think Biffa will sort it out when the neighbouring square is unlocked.

[@DrakeGamer85]

I think in some future episode, it would be lovely if you do a Double-Decker bridge - one deck carries traffic in one direction, and the other deck does it in reverse.

[@Aliztro]

Sightseeing buses were a great addition! I feel like the route could be improved by converting the pedestrian road that runs parallel to the couplet to a bus only road, and it would allow for transit buses to connect directly to the centre too.

[@Ascending11]

I play on console. When I do my roundabouts, I have cars entering from the inner lanes of the roundabout. Cars exiting the roundabout use outer lanes. Since I can't use traffic manager, I have to manage it in a different manner. It seems to work ok, as long as the roads are placed correctly so incoming and outgoing traffic doesn't cross too much.

The middle house of that group you moved by the sewage plant has two things on the roof and a red awning in front making it look like a face with it's tongue sticking out 😛 due to the smell and maybe use Find It (or what ever it is called) to find the facade that the train depot uses and use it over the remaining cliff face.
