![]() ![]() Tram tracks can utilize already-built roads by adding tram tracks to them using the replace tool, or the tracks can be built separately, running on the terrain and thus, bypassing other traffic altogether. Train stations can be upgraded with additional platforms and connected to other forms of public transportation Tram is a relatively flexible light-rail option when expanding the public transportation network in the growing city. Stations also feature pre-built tracks which create track switches automatically when tracks are connected to them, regardless of track type. Trains and other rail transports are able to drive backwards and forwards, and thus they can utilize track switches created by combining two-way and double train tracks. Train infrastructure allows you to create two-way and double tracks as well as one-way train tracks, elevated tracks, bridges, tunnels, and cut-and-fill tracks running lower than the ground level. The Rail Yard provides your city with both passenger and cargo trains Trains naturally require tracks to run on and building a train infrastructure is a high initial expense but due to their transport capacities, they more than make up for the initial cost over time. To create train lines you need to first build a Rail Yard, which sends out and maintains your trains, and connect it to the tracks. Trains carry large amounts of passengers and cargo and while their infrastructure size makes them better suited for intercity transport, they can be used locally as well. This is done by upgrading the Taxi Depot to also support electric taxis The taxi service can be expanded by replacing some taxis with electric taxis, reducing noise and air pollution caused by the service. With the dispatch center upgrade, there are no limits for picking up fares in the city. Taxis require the Taxi Depot for maintenance, but before upgrading the Taxi Depot, taxis can only pick up passengers from the taxi stand. However, they are low capacity, contribute to the city’s traffic congestion, and are also held back by it.Īdd a Taxi Depot to your city to provide citizens with taxi services Taxis are an extremely flexible public transport option as they don’t require lines to operate. Taxis operate on a similar logic to personal vehicles, able to transport passengers to where they need to go, and in the early game, taxis also bring new citizens to the city who don’t have their own personal vehicle. Place either a Bus Stop Sign or Shelter on a road to determine where buses should pick up and drop off passengers Taxis are a staple in most cities and that is also true in Cities: Skylines II. Intercity buses can stop at the bus station or they can drop off and pick up passengers from one or more regular bus stops. In addition to serving the populace locally, buses can also transport passengers from Outside Connections, and you are able to create intercity bus lines once you build the Bus Depot. To use electric buses in your city you will need to update the bus depot to maintain them. Buses require the Bus Depot for periodic maintenance and come in two flavors: traditional fuel-operated buses and environmentally friendly electric buses. They are a tried and true method, cheap and flexible even though they are very much affected by the traffic conditions of the city. Public Transport Typesīuses unlock first and form the backbone of the city’s public transport network in the early game. Check out the quick overview in the video below before diving into all the details. To support the local industries and commercial companies, you can set up cargo lines using trains, ships, and airplanes that in conjunction with trucks keep the industries’ wheels turning. Transportation also includes cargo transport where companies order resources through delivery trucks and vans. Ships are particularly useful on maps with large open waters connected to the edge of the map, while airplanes connect the city to the rest of the world through an airport. Buses use road connections while trains need to be connected between the city and the existing train infrastructure on the map. Passenger trains can also serve local traffic if you are willing to sacrifice building space for the large train stations.īuses, trains, ships, and airplanes transport passengers between cities bringing new citizens and tourists to your city. In a fledgling city, the citizens can be transported by buses and taxis and as the city grows, you are able to invest in other transportation systems, such as tram and subway networks. Today we are taking a look at the public and cargo transportation options available for you when you build that dream city of yours!Īn integral part of a city’s inner workings is its functioning public transportation system. Hi everyone! Welcome back to another Cities: Skylines II development diary. ![]()
