No Morning Peak?

[thorstein2]

Few days ago I'd noticed that in CIM2 we haven't morning rush if we are playing at the low speed (10-25%) - between 8 and 16 every hour grants around constant number of rides, then after 17 we have the massive rush hours till 20-21. It's kidna unrealistic - in mine city is very intensive morning peak (7-8:45) and 2 times less intense evening rush (15-18:45)
I think the best way to fix it is just quadruple (or more) number of CIMs going to the work about 7/8 AM

I confirm this. In my city too...
In fact the graphs show that the game has a morning rush hour but it only applies to blue-collar workers.((

The manual on the organization of passenger transport shows how the passenger fraffic shall be distributed in time.


Other examples of the distribution of passenger traffic. From the work of students.

I've just created a small town. What I'd see:

with 10% speed in game rush in city with 13.000 inhabitants:
23:00-08:00 night hours (descending from 700 trips per hour at 23:00-00:00 to 150 at 5:00-6:00; and later ascending to 700 at 7:00-8:00)
08:00-15:00 regular daytime (~2000 tph)
15:00-18:00 evening peak (~5000 tph)
18:00-23:00 -late evening - descending from 4500 tph to 700 tph ( 20:00-21:00 - 2000 tph)

this city population:
0% students
5% tourists
10% pensioners
15% blue collar
55% white collar
15% corpo workers
at that day i don't build any road nor new line, every house and workplace was in range of stops; and i had 85% reputation.
Town had ruleset with 500% population; one main bus line and one line bus feeder (buses had also 500% capacity)

I have noticed the same thing at normal speed (no tampering with the tools). Only one peak throughout the day, being in the afternoon.

Yeah, I also did a small test, but found that it's hard to see it because pensioners, students, and tourists start using the system right after morning peak. So as a result, it makes the evening peak extra large because all social groups are using the system by that time.

 

[thorstein2]

in my test number of students was 0 people
pensioners and tourists sum up to 15% population

I always wondered about that. Normally the morning rush hour is the big one in most cities, because the traffic concentrates to just 1-2 hours. This is causend that most people start to work around 8:00, in the same time school begins, shops open and so on. In the afternoon the traffic is much more spread over several hours: e.g. most pupils leave school earlier than working people end their work. So you have a small peak at 13:00-14:00 and then 16:00-18:00.

I think this could be solved if the average working times and leisure times would be adjustable in the rule sets for all kinds of inhabitants.

I'll have a look if this could be added to the rule sets. It is very true that the morning rush gets lost as other social groups start moving right after it!

Tourists, Pensioners, they need sleep, you know, they just sleep longer...
