So do your city > city passenger train lines accumulate a bit of profit ? I’m trying again, 3 cities connected via bus and 3 other cities connected via rail ( city D>E>F and vice versa ). Only one train with 5 carriages, 85 pax total. Quite good in the beginning, 1920′s, balance in the green, but now in the1940′s usage starting to deteriorate, balance in the red. Might try adding another train but like it has always been, it’s the beginning of the end… Hate having to sell trains and delete lines because they cost millions. This never happens with bus lines….
Sure i’ve tried that but sooner or later it always fails. Maybe i’m doing something wrong but it’s always the passenger trains that will stop being profitable. It’s true though, the biggest amount of citizens in a city i managed to accumulate sofar is about 1300 while most others remain beneath 1000. I suppose that must’ve something to do with it too. I did always play a small map though. Now trying a medium map, see how that goes.
You clearly say you can’t make profit with passenger trains once people start using cars.
