In this city I have divided commercial, industry and residential into their own separate areas. This causes major traffic challenges, which is a lot of fun
Especially people from the residential area wanting to get the commercial area to shop and work, presents a big challenge. I have created a large and complex public transport system to solve this.
The public transport system I have created works in 3 steps. Buses first pick people up and brings them the one of these bus terminals and train stations. Some are obviously bigger than others
Then they take to train all the way to this central station which is situated in the commercial area. Usually the station will say that 3000-4000 passengers have been serviced.
After they have arrived with the train, nearby metro stations will take them the rest of the way.
With this city it is very clear that a good traffic system has a large effect on the income. When my system at times has been inadequate, commercial has consistently complained about too few customers and industry about not enough buyers of product. Demand for all three zones as well as population increases also seem to fluctuate with the traffic situation.
The highway system also needs to be very extensive for the city to work
