Easier way to modify bus lines (+metro/train)?

[ByLeven]

Hey, great game! You should be proud

But, it is very difficult to fix bus lines after having done major roadwork in the city, the lines get all muddled up. With several lines overlapping it is not possible to simply drag and drop each line where you want them. Could you implement a feature that let us specify specifically which line to work on and possibly hide the rest?

I've spent literally an hour just now, trying to solve the puzzle of 11 messed up line criss-crossing though my downtown area... The coloring helps (awesome feature!), but still, with most lines hidden under other ones, it is very difficult...

+1 New window would indeed be very helpful. Get lost after 3 lines. Window where you can add, modify, color or delete them and maybe stats to see if a line is useful.

Would be nicer with a easier system for it yes.

Though that being said, I'm starting to grasp how to modify them, yet it isn't the best modify system in the world.

Are you willing to share? I have yet to figure out how to extend or modify lines.

To extend lines you must hoover over a line going in the direction you want to extend. Then click and drag the line to create the next stop. You can also move individual stops.

However my problem is that lines are layered, meaning that if you want to modify an older line overlapped by a newer one, you must first temporarily move the newest out of the way (or at least as far as I know...). Now, if you must restructure your entire downtown area with 11 lines at the same time, it sure would be nice to have the ability to hide 10, and work one at a time

It's very easy to miss dots (stops), when they are hidden under each other too.

One thing I'd like to see here is the ability to toggle off / on the different METHODS of transportation so looking at each one is easier on the eyes. The toggle could go between them individually and cycle back to one as it currently is with all. In each individual panel, it would be nice to see the number of lines you have with easy access to deleting or modifying them. I think this solution would work best. Also be wary of some of the train / bus / metro asset mods. Some of them are really difficult to work with and some don't function at all. Until that gets straightened out, I use the vanilla ones.
