Metro junction: how do you do it?

[SchwarzKatze]

To my dismay, I found that metro stations' tunnels do clip with each other, and you can't change the depth of metro stations either. Is there any way to make something like that without having to place them blocks away?

There are assets in the workshop, https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198218711768/myworkshopfiles/?appid=255710 that do not require any mods, but will give you metro stations at different levels and with some different patterns, including L, =, |_|, and #.

I use these all the time and love them. The caveat with them is that for stations with more than one line, you need to have a route pass through each line before you can double up on stops on one line. IE, if I have a L-pattern station and want to have a stop in both directions on one arm, I first need to have a line passing through *both* arms.

Deanwebb: do your modded stations give you any problems when placing routes as that's the reason I have to use Advanced Stop Selection?

CO really should introduce a range of multi track/multi level metro stations. I expected them to be included in Mass Transit, along with a collection of parking lots/garages which are also sadly lacking on the base game. Still hopeful this will be addressed in the next (final?) DLC

what's the point of parking garages when everyone has a pocket car?

Note that if you don't want to install mods, you can simply place two Metro stations on different lines next to each other and the Cims are more than happy to run up one flight of steps and down another one to change trains. You still have the problem of tunnels that need to cross over, but that's solvable. I put a small road in parallel with my main road, one station is placed on the main road, the other can go on the adjacent road and the two stations are basically touching.
I'm not sure what the limits are on how many times Cims will switch but i think so long as the total journey time doesn't get too long they're happy to do it. For example Bike-Metro-Train-Monorail-Bike commute.... Brompton folding bikes FTW.
