I've just had another look for something else to suggest and I'm wondering about the Mersey Ferry?

This one is not just a way to cross the Mersey but a tourist attraction in it's own right since they operate the ferry's on River Explorer Cruises and trips along the Manchester Ship canal as well as the regular morning and evenning commuter ferry services.

Plus for those CIM passengers who want a bus accross your river what about the Alexander Dennis Enviro400? This bus as I can vouch for is fast comfortable and pretty popular as they get used on Merseyside on all of the Cross River routes within Merseyside operated by Arriva:

They are my prefered bus to cross the river as you don't get the smell of the fumes in the tunnel unlike some of the other older buses.

Sydney/Australia

I also agree with the earlier post about Australia! Here are some examples

Metro
CityRail Oscar H Sets

Bus
Carries up to 80ish people

Ferry
What else, than the Manly Ferry, probably one of the most famous ferries in the world =)

This can carry 200+ people.

I agree with the Tatra T3, afterall over 14,000 units where produced. Would like to see the Karosa B731 as well. The Wright Eclipse/Eclipse Gemini series of buses would be good as well, afterall they are exported worldwide. Also the Neoplan N814 (as the first low floor bus).

A smaller river taxi option would be nice as well

Hello everyone reading this message=)
By my opinion Paradox Interactive should
1)include some elevated stations like in New York City with three ways:two for local trains and one for express train in metro pack.
2)Made more cities (I want to see Moscow, Saint Petersburg, Athens, New York city, London, Sydney, Los Angeles, Rome and others).
3)Monorail and tram should be separated.
4)Why don't inklude trolleybuses and aerial tramways?
And about transport

Since everyone is going modern, I will just tip my hat to one bus and one tram ...

- GMC New Look "Fishbowl". It was the quintessential and most widely used transit bus ever made in North America. Produced from 1959 through to the 80's and largely unchanged, it's success will likely never be repeated. Many systems still run these in regular service, while many have been preserved, a sign of their significance in modernizing aging transit fleets from coast to coast.

- PCC Streetcar/Tram. Like the GM, it revamped and modernized the transit vehicle image at a time when streetcars were very basic and plain, changing little since the days of the horse-drawn tram. Today, many have been preserved in museums and some networks even operate rebuilt PCC's in regular service, a testimate to their reliability and construction.

Do you can post photos here?

I vote for this train and the CityRail Oscar H Sets. But here is a error: in the video shows a HK zug, and not a H01. The H01 is more noisier and wider than the other train.

Sorry for my bad english.

Also, just a quick note, we should have monorail and trams as two different entities on all maps.

And will there ever be a free DLC? They dont sell it around my place and downloading it from the internet would be good =)

I think 90% of the people here buy DLCs on Steam on the internet - just buy and download, it doesn't have to be free for that. :)
