With the passage of the state budget, transit dollars keep flowing and the projects keep coming. For Magnolia County Transit, that means completely rethinking and redesigning their entire transit system! The new system will operate a hub and spoke design, with multiple hubs, and a spline route that connects the two hubs.
To accomplish this, we'll need to build one new bus station, two new bus depots, and design 10 new bus routes. This is a good one if you like transit!
Enjoy!

It would be cool if you could do a hybrid system of both fuel, for longer/Innercity routes, and electric, for more condensed urban routes. Sort of a 'reinvest in what's more profitable' type situation. At the very least I think it should be debated by the local government. Maybe have some staunch opposition about the cost of the investing in upgrading the fleet, and try to pacify them by requesting and receiving aid from the state for the upgrade as a green initiative.

I really like the approach! That's one of the big benefits of electric buses - less noise, which is great for urban routes and one of the ways I've seen them sold - "these will whisper past your sidewalk cafe, as opposed to the loud, rattling, smoking, diesel bus." Coming in the next one! Great suggestion!

A month in the game is basically a simulation of one day and night cycle, so basically you have to check your routes for max capacity around the typical rush hour times like 6 to 9 am and 4 to 7 pm. What would be really helpful for this would be a Google Maps style graph of the usage throughout a in-game month/day so you do not have to check the line manually all the time.

Bus route demand, just like traffic density, depends on the time of day. So at peak times (morning/afternoon/evening rush) more people will be riding the buses.

The city of Ottawa, Ontario (which has a similar climate to Superior) has recently begun the process of replacing its bus fleet with electric buses after a pilot project found that electric buses met all requirements, even in winter months. The city has committed to purchasing no more diesel buses, and the entire fleet will be electric by 2036. If a city with a climate like Ottawa can do it, I think they're a good option for Magnolia County.

You really need to be careful about the exact time you're looking at bus ridership. It varies throughout the day. So when you initially adjust a bus route at 8 AM it might need 10 busses, but when you go in to readjust at 2 PM or 3 AM its only going to need 6. Obviously those 10 buses are sorely needed on the line even though they don't see full ridership throughout the day. I also think you should disable nighttime service, because it's not that realistic. Especially in the American midwest I wouldn't expect nighttime busses (also the ridership is low at night anyways).

@fgm5225 16 күн бұрын

That's because he applied a purely economic model, adjusting the offer to the demand to "maximize efficiency". In Europe, the practice is the opposite, planners will first set an ideal schedule based on waiting times, consider how many vehicles would be needed to reach it and then get as close as possible to the ideal with the resources available. The objective is more social than economic (with the service often subsidized). Of course, that is much more expensive and less efficient, but the externalities are usually worth it.

As a German, I always find it fascinating how Americans go about designing bus routes. In my city of Munich alone, with its 1.5 million people, we have 79 day bus routes and 18 night bus routes serving a total of 1074 bus stops with a fleet of 569 busses. Add to that 174 tram stations, 13 tram lines and 132 trams and I think it's way beyond anything in the US... not saying that the US system is worse or the German system is better - just noticing the whopping differences.

For all who want to know how to easily make small Bus Stops. Sandwich the bus stop between two alleys and then either change the road addons (grass, trees or else) under the bus stop or the two left and right of the bus stop to something different than the bus stop. Because when the road has the same addon, the game randomly removes nodes and combines the road into single roads. When the road has different addons the game won't remove the nodes. But if you accidentally change the addon into the same or remove it it will combine the nodes.

doesn't Chuckles have a zoo to run? it's time for him to pack it in and go home. also, any thoughts on keeping busses flowing through the bus stations? I always wind up with the entrance and exit getting clogged with pedestrians using the stations, preventing the busses from getting in and out, creating a huge backup of busses, killing traffic nearby. edit to add: what is the rationale for using only the cheaper stops instead of the nicer bus stands that buff comfort? I thought the comfort score makes a mode of transit more appealing...

@CityPlannerPlays 29 күн бұрын

So far as I can tell, there isn't a great way to prevent that at the current time. I really hope there are more pedestrian access points added to assets in the future (like the old parks in CS1), where we can draw peds to different locations. That said, the university station works mostly because the pedestrian road draws people towards in, and since it is closest to the exit, I think the cims are crossing there (or that's my hypothesis anyway). Regarding the shelters - I mostly forgot to add them as the end, like I had intended to. I hate adding them up front and dislike the way the mechanic works generally. Too much inside baseball here, but I literally wrote the manual for when to put certain bus stop amenities at bus stops in my area. Shelters, trash cans, benches - you always add them after, because they are very expensive to install and maintain. They literally mean someone has to go out there everyday to make sure they are in good repair and clean. So you usually only place them where there is high utilization, not the other way around. So in this case, I can answer whether the chicken or the egg came first, and CS2 has it wrong. I'll update the shelters in the next one and have this discussion. Thanks for the reminder!

@@CityPlannerPlays I feel like stating the obvious, but in order to decide the number of vehicles per route, you can simply read the "Line Usage". For example, 50% means your busses are half full. In that case you can more or less half the number of vehicles. You want the routes to be as close to 100% as possible. I could be wrong though :D

Phil, at 16:10 you can see buses piling up blocking traffic. In some cases, the bus bay is entered on the bus stop but in many cases, especially where one stop serves several routes, the bus stop is actually at the front edge of the bay so that multiple vehicles can queue at the stop without impairing traffic. Also, the Bailey bus route absolutely should have an intermediate stop by the chemical plant. It goes right past it. Even if it's just a small thing on the edge of the highway with a pedestrian crossing to get to the plant. A necessary commuting service for both Bailey residents and anyone commuting from Bend.

I don't know, i just think the city is ready to grow even more, love your content Phil!

I think adding taxi terminals to each bus stop would be a way of appeasing Chuckles, a little back scratching to keep him happy enough to not be a major throne in the side the next time there is a big development he does not agree with. BTW, congrats on being Knighted...Sir Planner. :)

@francescagreer6933 29 күн бұрын

hey Phil, had thought about a good story reasoning for you to switch to the electric buses and to incorporate taxi stands into the system. the newly elected governor would want to keep some of the promises that helped put her in power to placate the citizens to act as a bit of political theatre. the "Look, I did this thing for you. Remember that for the future." mindset. the electric buses are a clean mode of public transit, and would be a popular starting point, with the potential for future policies to restrict or heavily tax excessive use of private vehicles. that would ensure more and more transit would be needed. this should also give governor timmons an easy way to buy off chuckles. offering him a decrease in taxes to his cabs, with the stipulation being he will need to upgrade his growing fleet to electric vehicles. this further shows the governor is wanting to push for cleaner energy and greener cities, while at the same time providing jobs, improving the infrastructure, and improving neighborhoods across the area. governor timmons could easily say she would like to upgrade and improve this plan over ten years or so, in phases, so the populace can adjust easier. this also helps chuckles potentially buy his way in to a seat with the board of transit for the area, as he would become a large player partner with the bus lines. opening his venture out for prospects of expansion like the bus system.

Maybe you could make most routes operational in daytime only, and add a few slower more winding night bus routes. In my hometown the night busses are less frequent and attempt to drive through most residental areas instead of optimizing for speed and capacity. This series is so good!!! 😊

39:43 In the game you can hover your cursor over the white circle that visualises the stop in the lines schematic and it will show you how many passangers are waiting there for the line you have selected. Comparing this number to the number of people waiting at the stop in total will give you the answer your looking for.

Great video again Phil. When you added bus stops near the school on Purple line it didn't look like the route stopped there. Might not have been in the edit. Chuckles may like idea of taxi stops near bus interchanges.

@justinsinke2088 29 күн бұрын

From a logistics perspective, I think synergizing the taxis with the buses makes some sense. It might even increase bus utilization if it means folks who want to use the bus are a little outside their comfortable walking distance, they can take a cab to the nearest bus hub or stop, as taking a taxi to the nearest stop and taking the busses the rest of the way may be cheaper than taking a taxi the whole way. From a narrative standpoint, it may placate Chuckles if the close connection carries implications that it might increase his business if he forms a symbiotic relationship with the bus service.
