About the Project:
Join me as we create a map rich with natural beauties, distant towns and a bustling metropolis. The aim is to create an island that feels as big as a state or territory, including vast biomes, mountains, rivers and an endless coastline. Set in Australia and New Zealand (maybe an island in between), this map takes inspiration from open world video games and the way in which the game devs create such immersive environments, such as GTA 4 and 5, Red Dead Redemption 2 and the Mafia 4 maps. To take it one step further, every thing on the map should feel unique and distinct. No city district, town or mountain should feel or look the same.

Trams are so underrated, I wish my city had trams

[@TheCriminalViolin]

Then there's the diehard bus people, like me haha. Trams and other Light Rail? Burn it in fire, Bus all the way lol

[@constantinosbou]

So true!

[@Dongonzales123]

@@TheCriminalViolin why do you prefer busses? Do you think they're better in every use case?

[@TheCriminalViolin]

@@Dongonzales123 Almost all cases they're better when talking local service within a city, and even a city's close in suburbs, when done right (meaning BRT, which is bus only lanes, priority at signals, high-capacity buses, no less that 12 minutes between each bus, and a automated system that takes pictures of vehicles which are within the bus lanes, and generates a report to the police who have strong enforcement against violators giving them harsh penalties). I would say the only proper instance where Rail should used is for longer distance services, from a city center to another city center, or further (regional or interstate highspeed, or international highspeed). Of course, most transit planners and other like-minded people strongly disagree with me on it, but I do to their assessment as well.

[@fribbon7027]

@@TheCriminalViolin You‘re definitely not wrong about that, busses are awesome. I do think they work best in combination with other transit systems tho. Light rail is necessary in any city over 1M inhabitants imo. Here they usually serve to connect busy parts of the city underground and then often continue on the surface as trams, arriving at an interval of every 5 minutes. They usually go as far as into the suburbs or even neighboring small towns. They’re also used as ring lines to provide interconnectivity with the other bus/rail lines. We also have an elevated train system that has fewer stops and connects larger stations and neighboring city centers with one another. You cannot build these systems at every corner cause that would be excessive and unsustainable, so busses fill in those „in between“ routes and areas light rail cannot easily reach really nicely. Just busses would be inefficient and just light rail would be equally inefficient in my opinion. So they’re a nice team

[@aronnyuzo633]

"three depots. Thats a lot for a city" Budapest with its 12 operating tram depots: 👀👀

[@alcaulique8358]

Trams looping around a balloon loop is quite common on older tram system (the same goes for metro). It's quite common in Europe where you have tramway network that dates back to the 19th century. On the contrary, new networks tends to favour trams with driving seats on both ends to avoid balloon loops.

[@eechauch5522]

Many tram networks have loops, especially those where the trams can only go into one direction, which is very common here in Germany. This has the advantage of only needing doors on one side, giving you a bit more space inside the vehicle. Also the vehicles could a bit simpler, since they don’t need a reverse drivers cab, but nowadays most of the trams can technically reverse, they just usually don’t in regular service.

[@robotinmyspace7656]

As someone from Oslo, I am a being fan of trams. Greatest form of inner city public transportation.

[@The8347135]

Oceania is back! Nice to see a second video of the week

[@TheBeetrootman]

placing a development over the second tram depot with PO and retaining walls could add some visual interest

“Three tram depots is a lot for one city” *laughs in Melbourne*

[@nicolasblume1046]

You can make yourself some custom parks with integrated tram loops for trams to turn around! So you can create a nice park where people are going to, but also have a tram loop! works really well in my city. having like 4-5 different designs should be enough

[@1000bijen]

OK let's get this wrong thought out of the world. Trams DO loop, light rail does not. And yes there is a difference between the two

[@unseen2880]

What even is the difference

[@gabrielstraus4116]

@@unseen2880 a rigorously clear distinction doesn’t really exist, but trams usually share the right-of-way with cars on streets, while Light Rail has an exclusive right-of-way, with at-grade crossings. Also Light Rail vehicles are usually wider and longer, with higher capacity compared to trams. They’re usually faster too

[@edoardoteixeira_]

[@HenryMidfields]

We can name Not!George Street as either Elizabeth Street or Victoria Street. Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Adelaide all have the former. Adelaide has Victoria Square, Melbourne, VIC and Hamilton/Cambridge NZ have Victoria Street, Sydney has Victoria Road. Grafton is another - there is A Grafton Street in Cairns/Warwick (QLD) and Coffs Harbour (NSW) - both main streets (and the latter is part of the Pacific Highway). There is a Grafton Road in Auckland.

[@BarbuDragomir]

Trams do in fact loop in most of the time. Please just read the wikipedia article on balloon loops.

[@iris4547]

i wouldnt say most of the time. sure they exist, but its also rather common for trams to simply terminate and then head back out the way they came. and being this city is heavily inspired by australia, thats the way its done here in the majority of instances.

[@NMWEYSILYSMM]

When you do a tram network in your city, don't forget the suburbs, they have to be connected to the downtown too.

[@haydnskinner528]

Looks just like Melbourne!

[@khalilheron8385]

Instead of looping trams at depots, maybe fly around toronto for some inspiration. All of the streetcars in Toronto only have cabs on one side so they need to loop and can’t just turn around. We have some pretty small tight low key loops like high park, long branch, Cherry, or Neville loops, some loops are at subway stations like at Main Street, Broadview, or Dundas West stations. We also have two underground loops at Union and Spadina stations. Hope those help☺️

[@RAI-1911]

Tram is one of the nicest transport network for tourism area, really like it. The speed is steady and accelerated smoothly, that makes the sightseeing more fun...

[@therealnemesis1627]

Trams do loop quite a lot in Warsaw where I live for instance. I know it doesn't help You in terms of your type of build, but I Just wanted to give You some info in regards to them :) Edit: Just before liveplay, there is a pillar in the middle of the road in the "overcomplicated" interchange as you called it I believe.

[@Adelaide_Transit]

Your E class trams have the exact same bell as Adelaides Flexity Classic trams :)

[@alcaulique8358]

I believe you should rethink your bus network, they share some lines with the trams which is not ideal. IRL you would have the buse line rerouted or discontinued when a new tram line is build.

[@jljb3845]

I dont know if it has anything to do with it but the game is made in Finland and in Helsinki tram system the trams are doing loops.

[@bookle5829]

8:22 I think it's more because we get distracted on certain other parts of the city. I got distracted too because there's just so many things to do. lol

[@ZGreenGaming]

You can always build spots for turn arounds and then they can go on the same street back

[@Pokerdude38]

Removes 5 structures from city block to build Tram depot "It was built because there was obviously a vacant lot here" 🤣🤣🤣

For example the trams in Vienna do terminate. As it was a frequently mentioned question, I wanted to share this

[@markrochford7252]

Merry Christmas 2$20 🎄 As an English eighties kid obviously I think of Mick Dundee whenever Australia is mentioned. For naming the pedestrianised shopping district, how about Walkabout Mall or Can Toss Thoroughfare!

[@edwardmiessner6502]

For the pedestrian street / mall may I suggest these: Summer Street Mall Winter Street Promenade Short Street Southern Cross Mall Banroo Street (this last is a shortening of Baton Rouge as coined by John Michael Greer, but it sounds *really* Australian)

[@carlospcpro]

One of the most underrated things our cities need! Great public transit, nice video!

[@JMWZ_E]

You should take a look at the "Dortmund Stadtbahn" network which is organizing 8 tram / light rail lines in 3 trunk lines that intersect in three different transfer stations in the city center though unfortunately the central station ("Hbf" on German maps) is none of that - so do not copy that aspect. And expanding the tram network also means cutting back the bus network because parallel services are more expensive. In the end your bus network could almost look like the tram network around Paris ("Tramways in Île-de-France" on English Wikipedia) - torn apart and mainly giving access to higher capacity transit (Paris Metro and RER, metro and tram in Oceania).

[@beefcakees]

Wow! I love admiring the level of thought that goes into this. It's like a well baked cake. Layered.

[@parrotking8315]

Are you still continuing with the Oceania city It be good to expand the suburban areas like Sydney does

[@hamoclick8340]

Two dollar twenty just predicted the pedestrian areas dlc

[@bobbyggare8364]

well all tram networks in sweden loop! deal with it!

[@BenBinnebose]

You can always make the end loops for the tram within like a plopped maintenance building so you can hide the loop and it makes it look like they enter a building.

[@internetguy4136]

If you want more people using public transport, use the free public transport policy

[@pieter-bashoogsteen2283]

Can’t wait to see what the Oceania equivalent of Alice Springs is going to look like!

[@xander9194]

I love it, the tram and billboard

[@briannem.6787]

I'll say it again because I really hope you see it- to make the metro line look even more like a former industrial branch, the line after "circular quay" should join to the main line somewhere in the suburbs, as industrial freight needs to get onto the branch somehow. Whether the metro trains still run from circular quay to a railway-metro interchange somewhere in the suburbs or the rest of the line is overgrown weeds, abandoned tunnels, and rusting bridges, that's up to you. But, I think that's important storywise.

[@encoreempire4038]

That’s a lot of trams!

[@Consume0]

I don't know if you know but the city loop tram in Melbourne is free, that might be a cool policy to put in!

[@markvogel5872]

Actually running trams through a pedestrian area is pretty normal!

[@quoniam426]

Unless cities develop a whole network on the get go and therefore get a gigantic depot, most new tram networks, developped line by line get a depot per line and it is even required for operators contracts competition that each line be independant from the others in terms of rolling stock and maintenance.

[@lybaon]

and for the street/mall name i think this names are good: -Starnight promenade -Evergreen street -New Broad' ave. -Red Alley -Concordia Way

[@quiboyenkhyirvie3921]

Finally!!! After a month of waiting, a new Oceania episode.

[@alexanderjago7384]

Grey Street Mall. It would be a good fit as it's a very typical place name in both Australia and New Zealand. Named after Governor George Grey, who governed New Zealand and South Australia (as well as Cape Colony in South Africa). And the street is grey for the most part.

[@Cendrity]

are we going to see more residential sprawl in Dundee?

[@LL-yi1jt]

[@rulipari]

Well... Actually many Systems have Loops, especially in Europe. (Especially, Especially in Germany, Like Berlin, Leipzig, Erfurt, Schwerin, Schwerin, Potsdam.)

[@alanzinhooleole1376]

If you want more people to use trams (and other transports except bus) you should try make the bus Lines shorter in distance. Bus stopp can go from tram stop to places not covered by public transport. There is probably no need for buses in the sentrum now, so to reduce traffic in there, let metro and tram do their thing. Enjoy the videos, really Nice entertainment when i dont have much time for playing myself anymore!👌

[@skullwidget6958]

22:00 please check the purple line it might have a big loop because you added a stop on the other side of the road mid way

[@martinreinders6870]

That's the line with 22 vehicles, right? Probably some wrong order of stops which causes to loop back first for the stop just before that one (2,1,3,4.. instead of 1,2,3).

[@harkauklan]

Perhaps the Bombora lines should be extended or merged. The shorter Bombora line can be merged with the port line for a shorter commute into the CBD. And then the longer Bombora line can bypass the Main Station in favour of the Olympic Park to go down the originally planned coastal route. That'll make it more of a sightseeing line, with contrasting waterfronts for tourism, CBD, and industry - excellent for a cinematic ride!

[@Eugenewashere]

And there will also be Springfield🤔🤔🤔

[@martinreinders6870]

29:07 removed a road with bus routes as well 😒 Find some of clus' roads assets with bus and tram, they'll fit in.

[@tonai]

I think that 10 people for a week on each line is kinda little. In my city (around 20,000 ppl) I have three lines: Line 1 - Far South-East ~1000 ppl a week Line 2 - West-East ~300 ppl Line 3 - West -South ~150. There are 400 ppl a week on 1 Metro Line, but my bus Lines are weak.

[@Da__goat]

For the pedestrian mall street with a tram line running through it, how about Vertali Street?

[@lesterfrancis8284]

The pedestrian mall you mentioned in the video needs an American name. I would name it after the pedestrian mall in Downtown Brooklyn, New York. The Fulton Street Mall.

[@daveg2104]

He can do what he likes, for sure. And he can take inspiration from other places. But as far as names are concerned, it is meant to be Oceania based. From Sydney - Pitt St Mall and from Melbourne - Bourke St Mall, for example. Other pedestrian malls in Oceania are available. And that is only if he wants to use a real name.

[@how_tragic]

Hmm! What An unexpected video!😉😋

[@HenryMidfields]

5:30 - It's a shame that trams are not reversible in this game. You'd think they'd allow that similar to trains/metro - at least on tram-only reservations. Good to see Not-George Street (or Not-Swanston Street?) coming to fruition!
