It would be nice, if I for instance have a busy tram station, then could add a bus station nearby and take off some load, or add multiple tram tracks to a station.

Also moving a station without screwing lines and passengers would be nice.


How about the city changes a little more rapidly to make the game more dynamic?
 
1) what stops you currently from adding stops for other lines nearby a busy tram station? How much load it takes, that depends on how many people would prefer to use the new lines. CiMs are rational in their own weird way: they want the shortest and fastest route - even if they have to queue for months to get on a vehicle on that line. :)

2) yeah, the fact that you have to close a line just because you move/add/remove a stop is annoying, true enough.

3) then there would be more complaints about bulldozed metro stations. :)
 
1) Find it kinda hard sometimes to reduce load on some stations without adding just another vehicle or similar to that line, which adds up to traffic and doesn't help that good (?)

3) But sometimes you want to remove a building to make space for your tram, however it just remains as a removed building and never develops to anything new, not even if you remove your tram track
 
Making a map that grows is hard enough, imagine a map that grows fast.
CO is a small team and they don't have time or wish to make such map. You can see in Amsterdam, they don't even cared to put street lights in all streets, and considering the streets that end out of nothing (bug), the map wasn't even tested.

And about making a station near another station to take off some load that is the wrong approach. More station you make in that place, more connection will be possible and more and more cims will use that area, making it even more crowded.

1) i wrote about new lines, i don't understand your answer...new vehicles on the same line won't help after a while of course...
3. The game engine does not support dynamic, random growth for the city, so everything is scripted in advance for the cities, therefore if you destroy a building, it won't get rebuilt automatically.
