Tips for begginers?

[towerbooks3192]

Hey guys, I am usedto the war games of paradox and stumbled upon this great games. Any tips for begginers? I find it a bit confusing on how should I build my bus lines like should I make it short or long? many or less stops? and how to settle the problems with unhappy passengers and to determine how I make my bus routes and other transportation routes. I am kind of confused about information in the map like the groups of people and where they live and work. I really need help

In general, never have too many stops on any line.
Bus lines should have 5-7 stops at maximum. Tram lines can have a bit more. Try to make "smaller" transport types to feed larger transport types. For example, Have a Metro line connecting the centers of a few neighborhoods and a local tram line in each of the neighborhoods.
In this way, people will get on a tram, go to the metro station and change there to the metro.

Another tip, the places that get the most passenger traffic are airports, train stations and train terminals, stadiums, cathedrals and churches, amusement parks etc.
There is no distinct places that certain people prefer to live in. The main difference between the different kinds of people are where they work, how often they go to shopping and leisure, and how much they are willing to pay for a ride.

And well-planned metro lines can be longer, 10-12 stations (meaning 20-24 stops there and back) can be absolutely OK.
