So if you build a new bus/metro/train route, when opened, every bus moving on the line start right after eachother. There is, apparently, no timetable or calculator whatsoever.
This has pretty much nothing to do with public transport as they randomly get to a stop without any calculation.

Not only public transport has this problem, also ambulances and garbage trucks. When opening a new incinerating plant and your garbage budget is above 100 percent, there will slowly appear around 25
trucks. These trucks mostly need to travel the same route from start (as you dont put these buildings in the middle of a city) and they start to clog up your streets.

But the worst is the metro system. They appear randomly at the start of a line when u just made it. At a route of about 20 stops i now have 10 metros right behind eachother waiting to enter 1 station.
This becuz i have more routes passing that station.

Rework/rethink this. Cuz clearly there has not been put in much thought. Thats a shame cuz i love the transportation part of such games (YAY for trams). Brings deepness in the game.


ps. the way you build/change routes is very user-unfriendly and difficult.

Yes! I have never seen so many buses in one place at one time! I have not yet found a way to manage routes (maybe I'm just dense). This is especially problematic in a growing city when one wants to extend bus, metro and train lines into new areas.
