Nobody riding the trains

[tassigabriel]

Hello all,

I recently started a city, and made a train line connecting the industrial and residential areas, however nobody is riding the trains. There are 3 stations and they all have 0 use. Previously I had a bus line connecting the 2 areas and I had a lot of people using it. I can't figure out what the reason is, help would be appreciated

I am uploading some pics showing the whole train line and the individual stations. Btw, I only have the free update from Mass Transit.

Thanks!

It might be your modded train station is incompatible with the new patch. Squeeze in a couple default stations and see if that works.

Yeah, it worked with the default train station. I tried 2 different modded stations and none worked. I guess I will have to rework the layout as the default stations take up too much space
Thanks for the help!

If you are using the train to haul people try a monorail. They are way more flexible in track placement.

I only got the free Mass Transit update. No monorails

I had the dedicated busway streets from the Network Extensions 2 mod instead of the train tracks/stations, but regular cars and other traffic were also using the street so I decided to change for trains. Guess I will have to wait until the author fixes the station. Not a big fan of the default train station, I like those tiny ones with only a platform.

Yeah, I was really hoping for a small station. I had been using this one:

Nothing too fancy, but it worked for me.

I love the multi-platform station in "Mass Transit", but being huge, there are only so many opportunities to use it.
I had hoped for a small one similar to the one linked above. Also a couple of sizes for multi-platform, like 2 track, and also maybe a 3 or 4 track station.

Maybe with the multi-platform stuff baked in, it will be easier for asset makers to fill that need.

Maybe try a default station at the beginning of the line with your mod stations the rest of the way. It might prime the code to work.
