Was it a randomly created map? I never had 3 cities so close to a production line T.T

[@bballjo]

Yup, random. Small map, high cities high industries has usually at least 1 close setup...

[@robbiebubble3670]

@@bballjo I will try that, thank you! Also I wonder when I get into the passenger destination overlay and it shows me the numbers on streets/tracks are those numbers how many people are using it already or how many more people want to use it?

[@bballjo]

The colors will tell you private or public...I think you are public...you can try to match up those numbers with your line frequency, but for passengers I've found it's easier to pay attention to your train usage vs how many people are left at the station after each pickup...also train speed and rate matter a lot more for passengers (if they can use a different type of transport that's faster they will use that instead very often)

@@bballjo That hint helped a lot, thanks! My bus and tram line were rivaling each other, and apparently bus was faster so noone used the train.

[@robbiebubble3670]

@@bballjo Another question btw if you don't mind! When I do the 3 city connection for train and one end of the line has significantly more people using the train than the other end, would you fit the train capacity for the highest amount or some sort of middleground?
