Performance boost and a large list of improvements

Consider also that the Linux version is only for 64-bit linux.

Two more tips:

1. You can make signals “one-way” by clicking on them.  That way, trains will never pass them in the wrong direction.
2. You can also raise or lower the end of a segment of road/track: just press on the square that shows the slope and two arrows will appear to raise or lower that end.

Now I see it is.  When I bought it I think it wasn’t, therefore my surprise…

Reason I don’t migrate to 64-bit is old hardware (4 Gb of RAM) and all programs, data and configuration that would be lost.  Those computers aren’t only used to play games.

If I understand you, I think that this is done automatically.  Just place a road station near a train one (you can even group the two with the same name).  Whenever you deliver goods to the road station, if that is time-saving for the goods and there is a demand on the other side of the train line, the goods will board your trains automatically.

I had another problem with Steam and I didn’t find the place to get it solved:

I bought the game to play it in Linux and what was my surprise that I find that it only works in 64-bit Linux, although it isn’t advertised anywhere…

Now I can only play it in one of my computers…  but imagine if I had only one…

True.  But, at least where I live, the general case is not to stop unless you ask the driver to or there are passengers waiting at the stop.  What you say is the exception in real life (only very few stops in a line), not the general case.

I think the game already has something programmed that make the buses space apart, since I buy four of them and start them all at the same time and they separate.  Therefore, it seems that that is not a concern either.

If buses behave the way I propose, they would be more competitive in the game, which I think is good.
