Transport Fever officially announced!

[qetuouk]

Can you get passengers to use the railway for travelling inside a town? (commuter rail)

Haha, had not thought of that yet, i think your buslines are little too long.

Any ideas for fast town growth.

Is the cargo better than passengers (for town growth)?

 

[qetuouk]

Yeah a submerged station costs about $1m per platform plus deletion fees and the tunnels (about $1.5m)

The small house are good to delete ($70k)

I generally build a 5 platform submerged station in my main city then connect it both ends to close cities

A -> B -> C -> B      B is main city with submerged station

the other cities can have just 1 platform (for now) but 5 if affordable

then make 1 or 2 buslins or tramlines in the 3 cities (preferably a 2 way circle)

This set-up cost the full $10m

Any spare money can be used to create a quick intercity bus from your main city

Some towns are better than others for submerged stations

Good towns are

Built on a slope  (easy to tunnel one station exit under the town)

have an area in the center with a clear (no roads) path to the countryside

You do not necessary have to tunnel both exits

Yes I use a sunken roads , its trail and error sometimes takes 5 secs sometimes 5 mins,m it worth making a save before hand and reloading if things go wrong

You can also build raised stations with bridges for the exits (over town roads but sadly not buildings)
