Maximizing Public Transportation with Some Fairlife Milk | Tutorial | Cities: Skylines

Have you ever built an entire system of public transportation only to have your citizens not use it? Frustrating, we know! Hopefully this tutorial helps you solve some of those problems, and gets the ridership up for your bus routes, trains, and metro!

My god, i wish the devs would just write a documentation of the traffic ai’s on the official wiki. Having clear knowledge of the factors considered for transportation from a to b would be so nice.

Word report when it on the first scene

wtf happened to this guy? these videos are the only trace i can find of him

Monorails, cable cars, Ferries and boats have left the chat

I never seen any utuber that is profitable on their overall public transportation.

I know its old but your links are dead

NUMBERS!

My fav intro track.

I’m finding I’m spending more money on public transport than I’m making. What am I doing wrong haha?

Nice video

what track is used in here?

I need help with tips on a transportaition designing and hopeful of getting more to use them! Im speaking about a populated small city (100.000).

Thanx for video. i love the game but honestly this video is not tutorial its advertisment....but its ok....😜

I've tried don't this and now here's more buses than cars in my City, send help

please make an Indonesian language tutorial too citiest skyline

I motivate people using public transport by giving it a lot of shortcuts. Cars have to drive arround, but public transport has a direct and fast conection

I dont find this tutorial very helpfull so Im going to post my own here:

So first we should take a look on where the cims are going.
Usually the cims are going from residental zones to industrial/office zones and from residental to shopping zones. - From my experience, shopping zones tend to get more cims going in them ( around 2x or 3x more than ind. ), especially if you compare them to industrial/office zones. That means that shopping zones recquire more public transportation options.

Second thing to look at is how to plan public transportation.
It is not as simple as just doing a bus line from residental to shopping - like yeah technically it would work, but it would by no means be good way.
What you need to have is first of different kind of transportation, mainly depending on the capacity - So you need light transport, medium transport, and the heavy transport - I will explain.
- Light transport mainly buses
However they are for kinda collecting the cims in some smaller area, transporting them to some transfer stations or hubs in the area. The area should not be bigger than few junctions and the lane should have less than 8 stops ( in one dirrection if you are not doing loop lines ).
- Medium transport - I preffer trams ( but you need snowfall dlc for them )
So you may say, that trams are basically buses but worse, because you need aditional infrastructure, but that is not true. Key to having them working succesfully is separating them from the roads - because, if they are on roads, they can get stuck in traffic jams and sometimes even cause them. That is why I recomend running them separatly on tracks ( only for trams ) on the side of the road, ideally underpassing every main road ( 4 and 6 lane roads with high traffic use ). This makes them into really good medium capacity transport to move cims around city. Make the lanes from residental zones to shopping zones and connect bus lines to some of their stations, so that they can pick up cims from the bus lines / drop cims to the bus lines.
- Heavy transport - I use metro
Mainly because it is fast and even less dependent on trafic flow + it has quite high capacity.
Main point of this transport is to connect the bussiest places and relieve stress from medium transport. Keep in mind to have each line running in it's own tunels and stations, so they dont block each other.

I would recomend getting some modded vehicles of your choice, because the ones that the vanilla game offers have quite low capacity.

Now what you need to have second are hubs, not one central hub as the video suggest, but several smallers where metro lines cross each other making a transfer station there ( I recomend getting these 2 or 3 platform metro stations from workshop, but placing 2 normal ones should work as well ) and having some tram line stop close too.
Also as goes for normal roads, dont rely only on one line to the area, have multiple enterring from different places, so that the cims are distributed across more lines - by that you prevent overcrowding of one line / station or atleast reduce it happening.

It is shame that I can't really show you pictures, because that would make explaining easier but what can one do.

Also if you are interrested, I have around 16 000 cims using my public transportation, but that seems to be the maximum, because I have it like this from like 60k pop. and now with 100k it is still the same.

Anyways hope this helps atleast a bit.

music is annoying cANT HERE U PROPERLY

On Xbox and I can’t play this game anymore

Over 3k people including tourists are using my metro!

I really wish you guys made an articulated bus to the vanilla game that looks like the biofuel bus from the green cities dlc

Please fix AI traffic. 😔

I'm on console. This is so useful!

@cityskylines when will the industry dlc be added to console or is it not happening

Great video, thank you!

Yesssss more console videos please

please clarify how much space should be between bus stops? I always hear people say 4 to 5 blocks....how big is a 'block' unit in the game???

Way to tell me literally nothing. Here's a tutorial on public transport. There's buses, trains, the metro. Alright. Have fun

people who disable vehicle despawn are the real gods of this game

Me: played over 500 hours of CS
watches tutorial anyway

Fantastic tutorial 👍😀

Please add double-decker buses in order to increase the capacity of each bus!

Interesting, but not deep enough in my opinion. Would need to see some real situation example in your cities. With that video, which is pretty straightforward, we still don't know how to correctly place transport district. Thanks for it anyway though.

Just ban driving then you get 100% usage

"Free Public Transport"
Jesus another socialist.
Why should I pay for your cheap ass, riding free while at the same time paying exorbitant taxes on my car. CIMs against tax waste!

Paradox, please change the vehicle's-AI. It's annoying

does anyone make money out of transportation?

How do i get one of those bus terminals?

Hi Cities skyline !
Your tutorial video is a great idea.
But the format is way to short.
I think using the UI is the first thing people learn.
I want to learn how to place correctly my bus stop, how to make my residential district using my transport to go to industry/Commercial.
For the next video, could you please give us real tips about the game ? :/

Haven't played in a while but good you can now change transport line colours on console.

"Just remember to keep in mind..."

Make an airport DLC

I am so excited for a next DLC guy! a trailer please !

Hopefully a few top Cities Skylines You Tubers see this, as they never seem to make their public transport efficient enough using these tools. You should have discussed the magnifying glass tab and the ability to increase the budget and thus the amount of vehicles on each line.

What I don't get is how far from each other the bus stops must be. You are talking about 4 blocks. But is this a block as in one square? Or this a undefined sized residential block?

I always lose money from public transport
