Bigger Depots and multiple Depots per Route

[unmerged(723902)]

Hi

Just like to say I love the game and it has consumed 130 hours of my life so far and it is consuming more by the day.

A couple of things that would just make the game perfect are an Auto Save ( I have lost many a game to not having this) and bigger depots or the ability to split routes over multiple depots. For example I have a route that currently has 80 buses allocated from one depot at the beginningof the route and It would be great if I could allocate some of those buses to another depot in the middle or the end of the route or a bigger depot to hold them all.

Apart from that an amazing game which the team have really thought about.

Cheers

A bus route with 80 busses?? :blink:
This must be one hell of a line. I can't imagine the traffic jam horror and the delays with that line...

Try splitting the line and/or make it a tram or even metro line.
Maxing the capacity of depots is very very unrealistic. The depots would be much much bigger to be even remotely able to make a realistic impression to fit 80 vehicles (the tram depots are already quite small, imho). Plus, I hardly know a depot with 80 vehicles in real life.

Welcome to the forums, skylinegtr!!
You can easily make the depots bigger. Just make your own ruleset. In the main menu, go to Tools -> Ruleset editor.
Change the depot capacity, and save the ruleset. When you start a new game, apply the ruleset - and now you have bigger depots.

You obviously don't live in London Some depots have up to 300 buses and some routes have up to 75 buses.

I don't really want to split the route because it is making a killing and the passenger use it as a through route as well as local passengers use it to.

True, but unless I'm mistaken (I haven't found a way to do it), this isn't possible for the default campaign.

Have you tried duplicating the line using another depot? It wouldn't help with the line length but after a few days it may split the congestion.

This is the workaround I use. It works most of the time, but there is the occasional passenger that, because of this, does weird commuting choices, like changing at every other stop to the sister line without reason.
