Cities: Skylines Mass Transit release date announced (and new awesome trailer)!

[TinyWiking]

STOCKHOLM, April 13th, 2017 - Paradox Interactive, a publisher that sometimes goes off-track, and genuine bona-fide electrified six-car developer Colossal Order today announced that “Mass Transit”, the next expansion for Cities: Skylines, will be available on May 18th, for $12.99. Cities: Skylines - Mass Transit brings a blimp-load of new features to to the critically acclaimed city-builder, including new public transportation options such as monorails, cable-cars, ferries, and most majestic of all, blimps!

The expansion also includes new mass transit hubs, which allow passengers to easily switch between different public transportation options, showcased for the first time in this new trailer:

Cities: Skylines - Mass Transit will feature:

The Road to Riches: Ferries, blimps, cable cars, and monorails help move your citizens around town, and get their money into your city's coffers.

Home is where the Hub is: The transit hub connects all your transit together, letting citizens ail lines in one building, or hop from the bus onto the ferry, or even find their way through a sprawling monorail-train-metro station.

The Traffic Must Flow: New scenarios will test your traffic management skills and transit system vision. New road types, bridges and canals adds variety to your city, and new ways to solve its challenges. Become an expert in traffic flow, and then use that knowledge to improve your city!

New Hats for Chirper: No expansion is complete without some new hats for fictional birds!

Can't wait!

Are the vehicle sounds a new feature or are they just added in the trailer? (train brakes screeching and ship honks 0:18), i think it would be awesome to have them in game too.

Another month to wait, guys you are killing me

Looks great though, I can easily say this will probably be the best expansion ever made for Skylines.

That trailer had some nice music, is that new music in the game soundtrack or is it pulled from something else?

I don't recognize this building. Is it a new unique building ? It looks nice

Looks like the Eddie Kovanago from the Art Deco buildings.

Wonderful game, it can only get even better with this release, great job C.O. Here`s to a few more millions in sales.

I see the squeezing to death in the cable car cabins made it into the release date announcement trailer.

I see the squeezing to death in the cable car cabins made it into the release date announcement trailer.

The wheel-head should articulate with the cabin arm so that the cabin is always horizontal acording to gravity push. Winds and hurricane disasters could shake the cabins or even rip them off, possibly causing fatalities.
Pushing down the maintenance budget to below red levels should give it greater chance for cabins breaking out, or cables snapping.
Yeah I'm a disaster sucker.

This clearly is meant to work like a rack railway wagon, you just can't see the level seats inside:

It all looks brilliant!, I hope there are small footprint stations for ferries and blimps and everything though. The stations shown for ferries dont look like they'd even fit in canals!
Also will the new track things work like Trams where you need to turn around or like trains where they switch?
I like the tram way better.

Looking forward to it!

Well, if the cabin isn't going to pivot, the seats inside would have to, as the angle of the cables is not a constant.

The extra strain on the cables would not be a good thing. Cabin should hang level.

At last! A release date.

That wouldn't help much as the cabins turn around in the end stations. Also, look at the stress to the cables the cabin would cause with such a leverage force.

I don't ever recall seeing a picture, but in dev blog 2 (https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/foru...nes-mass-transit-dev-diary-2-ferries.1008076/) they have said "In the regular canals ferries cannot pass each other, unless one is at a stop." which suggests there will be some form of dock in the cannals we have, in that devlog they also showed an image with a wider canal.

Thanks and hey AWESOME there were dev dairies, just all secret and not in the home news page thing

Will you be able to build underground metro stations (like the classic Cities in Motion 1)? I saw people pouring out of what looked like an underground station entrance at the beginning of the video, but I saw no other metros otherwise. I hope metros are included!
