LEAVE IT to my amazing ability to mess up pronunciations and make my "just like" sound like "dislike" 😂😂😂 The modding community never ceases to amaze me, and I can't help but wonder what other amazing new mods we will see for Cities 2 in the future! This amazing mod is made possible by TDW, Trejak and Bad Peanut, so if you'd like to support them, check out TDW @ buymeacoffee.com/tdwsvillage and Trejak @ ko-fi.com/trejak Hope you have a great sunday everyone Infra
Mister Mayor, the truth is that your bus lines are too long and they are all terminating in at the station which simply does not have sufficient capacity and based on its location insufficient room to expand. You need to build a satellite terminus around the city to divert some of the other buses there. Those stations would be connected by the light rail which in theory should reduce some of the road traffic in and around the Central Station. Methinks that regardless of road design and layout overall, the fundamental issue is one of capacity.
@@Kitty-ix5pgtram lines running on dedicated track or which have right of way is not the same as a bus which runs on and interfaces with regular traffic. And, the issue isn't just about capacity but also a matter of placement of the station. It been placed near the bridges and along the primary artery into Downtown Riverview all compound the issue.
I think in a big town the tram network should be the basic network. Bus only fill the gap where there is no tram. So the job of a bus is to drive people to the next tram stop so they can change to the tram and continue. Tram lines are build because they're faster and have higher capacity than a busline. And they're cheaper than an underground and are very flexible.
00:06 Please request from the residents of Riverview. We are too uneducated to read. We can't pass the driver's license test. We also don’t know how to read signs on buses. Make a pedestrian zone on the bridge over the river separate from cars so we can go to factories
theres this board game called "the campaign for north africa" and in the game you have to micromanage everything for whichever small occurances could happen, like changing the tires of trucks for specific weather conditions or even debating on giving more water to troops and the extra weight of water would slow logistics down what if there was a city building game that actually checked if your citizens are smart enough to be given cars without constant accidents, along with other, petty issues?
You know if you want to get rid of the weird u-turns, you can click the “remove unsafe” option while using the traffic editor. You’re my favorite cities skylines RUclipsr! Hope your having a good day
The complete disregard of lane math on the Riverview Expressway is driving me crazy. The freeway towards downtown Riverview first goes from 2 lanes to 3 with no apparent reason, immediately merges with I-25 off-ramp and on-ramp from the industrial area into a 4-lane highway, and then splits into a 2 lane highway towards the bridge and 1 lane off-ramp to industrial area
A lot of stuff that started as mods in CS1 made its way officially into CS1 via DLC or into CS2. They can still try to improve and add new transportation options in patches or DLC.
At 17:50 With the Traffic lane mod, click the "Remove Unsafe" to get rid of all of the U-Turns and dashed lines. Often times just doing that takes care of a lot of the traffic issues at an intersection.
the bridge at 12:00 is exactly why this mod is so great. Does it have bugs? Yes. Does it lack some features? Yes/ But these guys understand how to make this game great!
Hey, I honestly think you should strive to separate rail (tram) and car transport. What exactly do I mean? Trams should have a separate lane in most cases. In real life, this increases road safety and thanks to this, there are no situations like on a newly built bridge where the tram lane connects with the regular one, which would be very dangerous in real life. I think you should improve this. The second thing is that you should also strive to decentralize the main communication port and make a second one in another part of the city. You can also end the lines in the another part of the city and make a normal stop next to the communication port, for example on the other side of the roundabout. I hope you will take this into consideration. Btw awesome build in the episode
At 4:13 you can see the lack of pedestrian connectivity across the river causing your cims to unsafely cross the highway exit ramps - perhaps the city is rich enough for some pedestrian improvements?
Hello, I've been watching your CS videos for a long time now and always with my eyes wide and my tongue hanging out. Those cities you create in CS2 and old CS1 are simply amazing. I've never been able to come within a kilometer of what you do. In each video I admire your talent for planning objects and developing city space. Greetings and I eagerly await the next amazing cities.
I can see that passangers also contribute to traffic congestion at the tram and bus station because of the pedestrian lines. How about you also build a bridge soley to be used by passangers to cross over to the other side of Sycamore Street without having to interfere with the high traffic that is already there? Overall the mod has impressively improved the road network, big up for that!.
This is the closest Riverview can get to an overground subway for now, so I'm glad the trams can now reach Chelsea. The number of sims using that transport hub is crazy! If you uploaded an episode focusing only on that part of the city, it'd still be a hit.
I personally don't think in real life somewhere as valuable as east port, the place you renovated in the last episode, between downtown chelsea, riverview and east riverview, in front of the love island, at the crossing point of the rivers would be left a half rundown underused industrial port of some sort. It would literally be the hotspot for new, advanced development projects connecting the cities' downtown areas. So I encourage you re-think and do smt abt east port. Btw I live for this series at this point, thanks for everything.
That's a good point! I imagine there might be a bit of surveying of the soil and other stuff though, before at least residential development is feasible!
yes absolutely! Why would the city invest in a huge light rail project only to leave some bottlenecks like this? Also the lane math after the bridge hurts XD
So cool - You could maybe have your buses have stops on both sides road at 49:00. Or even crazier, have 3 bus lanes, where the middle bus lane is for getting in and out of the transit hub. Also, you can add grassy sidewalks and trees within the mod when your editing sidewalks
@@MCnoCOMPLYYou can add a wider median for that to the right of the bus lane, technically he could transform the entire transit hub into a single road with each bus lane having a median on the right where passengers can wait.
RTA7 from the airport to north port is the perfect candidate to upgrade to an elevated metro. A metro can move a lot more people and will reduce congestion at the main transit hub. Also it will look cool to have trains running above the streets.
@@sepehrjc2581 An underground metro would also be fine but the creator has stated in one of his previous videos that he likes to see things happen on ground.
for the busier zebra crossing at the station, you can try using the traffic light mod on the zebra crossing and allow for a dedicated pedestrian crossing timer-busses need to slow down anyway, so allowing some time for them to cross might be beneficial. Also there is the "crossing the street tunnel" asset/mod which I find works real well for underground pedestrian. As as aside, I feel that using moveit to stretch an intersection has deleterious effects on traffic-moving the stopping area back also means traffic backs up quicker behind it. Also, the cars traversing the intersection have less time to traverse it before the light changes, so fewer cars make it through.
Perhaps on one of the coming episodes a large scale sports stadium with an additional transit terminus and a nice big park next to it would be great to have in the city
A naming scheme for the roads I would suggest is doing this; keep the 2+1 naming system but use it extensively to create this... say that we had a two lane road with one of these being BRT exclusive and on the outside. You will name it B1+1B (B meaning bus and the + showing at which point the directions change) Say that you had a one lane two way road with a two directional tram track with both of those directions shoved to the right of that road. Then your road would be 1+1+T+T. And so on.
19 minutes in you show how pulling the node handles away flattens the road at the node. I am certain that as the curve between them was adjusted you can use PgUp/PgDn on the node handles to add or decrease curve. Great video and good to see the mod applied to that bridge specifically.
The city desperately needs an arts and culture district which should create jobs and attract more people to the city (and concomitant effects). There are so many places to get inspiration from like *Place des Arts **_(in Montreal, Canada)_* and the *Perth Cultural Centre **_(in Perth, Australia)_* or other examples. You can do either a _cultural complex model_ with multiple facilities (with theatres, galleries, museums and the works) or the _institution anchor model_ with one primary facility (like a large performance art center) and several smaller institutions around the area. I hope you'll give the proposal some consideration.
You might want to create other transport hubs in your two other "downtowns" and connect them to eachother, that releases some of the crowd in that one hub.
Thank you very much for the video, maybe take a few buses off or maybe try to split and then increase the central station or increase the central station in the same place or add a metro
Always being a blast to watch a public transit building episode! And you actually make that bus spaghetti much better this time! Cheers to the road builder mod!
Amazing stuff bud! Direct rail connection like in the plans😅 cool to see it go live and especially with this awesome mode. Thanks a lot for working on the public transit 😊 education can wait😂
I've been spamming praise for this mod and the legendary mad lad T.D.W. under every video for days now, so I'll keep this brief: This mod singlehandedly transforms the game for me. All the frustration about the release or delays has vanished. I can't wait to get back home from my holiday and install it the moment it's released on August 9th! 😂 The only thing missing now is officially supported custom assets, and I fear I won't be able to stop playing again! 😂
Hahahahahah they deserve all the praise! And I feel you - I'm thinking autumn 2024 with the asset editor official release will mark the definitive turn-around for the game.
I love your content, your cities and your levels of detail are great. That said, your bus terminal/ tram station/ central train station area is one of the most stressful parts of your city, and feels like it needs to be unpicked, organised and redone. Just my opinion of course. Keep up the great work!
This mod is insanely cool. It reminds me a lot of street mix, which is a cool website where you can build street scapes by dragging and dropping road types down and then customize them. Super cool mod
Follow this serie and its fantastic and it dont seems like you are new at this roadfixing mod you work with it as you got it for months. Thanks for this.
43:48 You actually didn't need to have that parking there - if you look closely on that context menu for the car lane at the side you can choose to remove the roadside parking.
I cannot wait to play CS2 in about a year when all these mods fix the game fully. Seeing the road builder in action convinces me CS2 is going to become the greatest city builder ever, all thanks to the amazing work of its community!
There is a fairly small pedestrian underpass asset in one of the mods, that could probably help with the traffic at the main public transit hub. Seems a lot of the slowdown is caused by huge numbers of people trying to cross the bus lanes.
Build as many beautiful roads and transportation networks as you want. Traffic is inevitable in this game because CIMs are very keen on using a single lane
Oh yes... just had a thought on how to add in something custom to separate passenger and freight rail too. Love this builder! So much easier to see your results than playing the CTD game in the Editor
Thing is, you don't need the loop in the road of the tram at the transit hub, so you could remove the tram track there, cause all of your trams go to the tram dedicated rail in the hub, which would simplify the visual, and try to remvoe all the unnecessary tram turn in the round about, it would also help the visual :D other than that, amzing work!
Your city reminds me of Sacramento CA. It has a core downtown, sprawling suburbs, light raio and bus networks and 2 different rivers! You take sme inspiration from it!
A tip for creating bus lines, try to keep your buses and trams from making left turns. They are big vehicles and they clog up intersections. If they only make right turns they'll move around the streets easier
A tip to build next: a rest stop along the highway, where truckers can rest and people can gas their vehicles. Also there might be a motel and a restaurant.
My take on transit-hub is make diagonal bus stop since there’s more stops than roads. There’s enough space to do loop around and diagonal stops on the middle and now you can do a multiple lanes with the mod.
Plsss, dude! I think I counted 20 other comments saying that you need a metro system and maybe making another transit hub because this one is behind the city’s evolution. There is almost 170 000 citizens relying on this one transit hub. Pls start stop investing in a traffic adding bus system and instead a expansive metro system which can be connected with the excisting tram/light rail system. Pls take these thoughts in consideration!! :)
You should take all across walks off of any bus lines, highways, or tram stations. It seems that with the people in the city and how the game is going, everyone wants to walk everywhere.
I think the light rail section in Primrose street could be a 1 2-way line, so you'll have more pedestrian space and anyways there is not a huge volume or trams, and it is a short lane, to make it too crowded
in the chelsea boulvard, the sidewalks on the inside of both street are redundant because there is a pedestrian street right there. you can gain space by removing them, and make the pedestrian street both ways for pedestrians
I'm sure someone has pointed this out already but the reason why your new tram line didnt get any passengers at first is because it did not have a stop at the station, only a way point. So basically the line was an 8 dollar costing loop that just went to the station but didnt stop there; evidence of this can be seen when you go to adjust the number of alocated trams, and on the overview on the left you can see only 1 stop being on the line
I think the lesson to learn here is do not build a transport hub requiring traffic to cross each other. E.g. The bus hub could be on the other side of the road. Or have a large pedestrian plaza with tram and bus at opposite ends. Or have a bus station in walking distance but a couple of blocks away from the tram hub. Lots you can do
I was thinking, I wonder if you can use the road builder mod with the mod that allows you to choose where to place quay walls to create a "road" with no drive lanes but grass and median to function as proper quays. Could also add sidewalks to create walkable quays
The problem you're having with the bus / tram super station - node its a very real one. In Mexico City, one of the biggest and most populated in the world they have the very same problem in several of this mega junctions that connect buses with trams and metro stations, during rush hour (which nowadays its almost all day) its a big mess and chaos, and every time the city tries to fix it they create new problems just like you. So don't despair it means the game is simulating correctly! XD
With the Traffic mod, the dotted (unsafe) paths are not generated unless you create them. You can also press "remove unsafe" and it gets rid of all U-Turns and any strange lane merges
Loved the video as usual, it's crazy that we are getting mods as complex as this one so early in CSII's life. Just a quick question tho, what texture mod are you using? Haven't been able to find it yet. The grass/dirt texture from the map itself look dramatically better than vanilla
One thing I haven't seen yet in cs is the train and bridge together like the Benjamin Franklin Bridge in Philadelphia. That could be a very cool asset made for this game.
You should make the lrt line from New Chelsea go via central hub to end in East Riverview, and the line from the yard could end at old tram loop near the oldest highscool before the bridge

18:49, you can change height of all "points" in manipulation mode of move it mod, this way you can make nodes to be sloped.

A tip for creating bus lines, try to keep your buses and trams from making left turns. They are big vehicles and they clog up intersections. If they only make right turns they'll move around the streets easier
58:16 the issue with the tram line is that it has only one stop!
A tip to build next: a rest stop along the highway, where truckers can rest and people can gas their vehicles. Also there might be a motel and a restaurant.
My take on transit-hub is make diagonal bus stop since there’s more stops than roads. There’s enough space to do loop around and diagonal stops on the middle and now you can do a multiple lanes with the mod.
Plsss, dude! I think I counted 20 other comments saying that you need a metro system and maybe making another transit hub because this one is behind the city’s evolution. There is almost 170 000 citizens relying on this one transit hub. Pls start stop investing in a traffic adding bus system and instead a expansive metro system which can be connected with the excisting tram/light rail system. Pls take these thoughts in consideration!! :)

Not building any damn schools
Sir we need more education buildings
Le sir - focused on roads
Love your channel!! and this city is so beautiful! Keep up the awesome videos!
Haven’t checked in here in a WHILE…Riverview is beautiful!
Another day, another hour of myself resisting the urge to redo the road infrastructure of Riverview and place those damn schools
You should take all across walks off of any bus lines, highways, or tram stations. It seems that with the people in the city and how the game is going, everyone wants to walk everywhere.
I think the light rail section in Primrose street could be a 1 2-way line, so you'll have more pedestrian space and anyways there is not a huge volume or trams, and it is a short lane, to make it too crowded
University and metro coming for Cities: Skylines III
Nice episode as usual, thank you!
in the chelsea boulvard, the sidewalks on the inside of both street are redundant because there is a pedestrian street right there.
you can gain space by removing them, and make the pedestrian street both ways for pedestrians
Letsss gooo a new infrastructurist episode
Some elevated pedestrian pathways at the bus station would help keep the buses moving and could look pretty cool
This is my favorite CS2 city build. Move me to the North Side.
Dude you need a subway system

Love this mod. Cheers from the UK!
I'm sure someone has pointed this out already but the reason why your new tram line didnt get any passengers at first is because it did not have a stop at the station, only a way point. So basically the line was an 8 dollar costing loop that just went to the station but didnt stop there; evidence of this can be seen when you go to adjust the number of alocated trams, and on the overview on the left you can see only 1 stop being on the line
you can remove U-TURNS if you use the bottom remove unsafe in traffic mod, the unsafe remove all the lane that are not un line, is easy to apply.
3:34 a friendly reminder to dislike this video ❓❓❓😅
Hahahaha, whoooops! I think I say "just like" but leave it to me to wreck the pronunciation hahaha.
"Tojustlikethisvideo" Danish...hehehe...
I think the lesson to learn here is do not build a transport hub requiring traffic to cross each other. E.g. The bus hub could be on the other side of the road. Or have a large pedestrian plaza with tram and bus at opposite ends. Or have a bus station in walking distance but a couple of blocks away from the tram hub. Lots you can do
Wow this game is gonna be amazing in the next months
I was thinking, I wonder if you can use the road builder mod with the mod that allows you to choose where to place quay walls to create a "road" with no drive lanes but grass and median to function as proper quays. Could also add sidewalks to create walkable quays
The problem you're having with the bus / tram super station - node its a very real one. In Mexico City, one of the biggest and most populated in the world they have the very same problem in several of this mega junctions that connect buses with trams and metro stations, during rush hour (which nowadays its almost all day) its a big mess and chaos, and every time the city tries to fix it they create new problems just like you. So don't despair it means the game is simulating correctly! XD
With the Traffic mod, the dotted (unsafe) paths are not generated unless you create them. You can also press "remove unsafe" and it gets rid of all U-Turns and any strange lane merges
Great video as always Infra!
Tyyyyyy!
49:58 Welcome to urban planning XD
I love he mentioned the "W"
Please expand the city bc it’s pretty weird for a city to have such a skyline but 170k population
Looks cool looks like the Los Angeles metro on the highway!
Loved the video as usual, it's crazy that we are getting mods as complex as this one so early in CSII's life. Just a quick question tho, what texture mod are you using? Haven't been able to find it yet. The grass/dirt texture from the map itself look dramatically better than vanilla
this video is 50% cool road stuff and 50% trying to decide what to call the custom roads
0:14 him pronouncing it as TDWee, instead of TD"Double U" is very funny to me.
I make that mistake a lot too
One thing I haven't seen yet in cs is the train and bridge together like the Benjamin Franklin Bridge in Philadelphia. That could be a very cool asset made for this game.
You should work on implementing a commuter rail network in riverview.
I feel like Riverview is well overdue for a subway system. Plus more trains = more better!
You should make the lrt line from New Chelsea go via central hub to end in East Riverview, and the line from the yard could end at old tram loop near the oldest highscool before the bridge
