I think your city is definitely ready for a metro system. much higher capacity than trams, and prevents waiting on the street. keep the tram, but add a metro too!
I love that even though you constantly have a deficit, your money still keeps going up. There has to be some hidden income that the game isn't showing you.
It's export of products. The game doesn't show that in the income tab for some reason. Whenever your truck or train exports either raw resources that you have a surplus of or a finished product, you get that money. I guess it doesn't happen frequently enough for it to be in the income tab.
Nope. You don't get export money anymore. The bussiness get the money and make more profit and then you get more tax. The economy is broken atm.@@bornahorina7827
making so many railroad crossings at a railyard is certainly an interesting choice! Irl, most railyards are not actually accessible on foot, to prevent train hopping, theft, and sabotage. Also, the traffic out there is gonna be super congested after a while, not to mention the accidents that are prone to happen when you gotta cross four active railways in a 500m span.
You can build anather train station in the suburbs. Like many cities in india does . So peaple can take the train to downtown if they want to . And it reduces traffic. So it can be very good .
@@FlorianXXVYeah, he has. I binge his videos every now and then, but it's been ~5-6 years since I found this guy. I don't watch regularly, but when I do I go through entire playlists within a few days.
Busses and trams are fine for low population areas. Trains are severely underused in this game, but I found subway is greatly used. Since the traffic simulation needs a LOT of work, the busses and trams get stuck in traffic all the time.
Hya. For Bulter Street near the Train Station, why don't you put a road tunnel underneath and a seperate Pedestrain Tunnel too. I think it'd look quite cool.
To me it's quite clear the game is missing suburban/commuter rail station as well as terminals. The asset we have is fine for a central passing station, but not for most other roles.
It's important to make your city walkable (and Bikable using Bike lanes) since oddly enough public transport is just one level higher than private vehicles in the transport hierarchy pyramid
your rail maintenace yard looks great but I was wondering why you didn't run the main line through it and save all the extra rail line? Thanks for the video.
this is something I realized I needed to start doing with my city as i have about 200k residents but only 80k ridership, at this stage however you kinda have infinite money so it is only a matter of tracking down and revamping/fixing my stations. I think I will focus more on centering my businesses around my transit as opposed to the other way, as it is much easier in my city to move zoning around as opposed to the several hundred types of transit stops
i’m wondering why you didn’t just merge the train lines of the new station closer to the station instead of having all of them run through the city and then merging them? great video!
I agree that some people keep on upgrading your existing Metro System. Don't keep bulldozing and moving it around it doesn't really help. I mean, it's not like your cities like a density city like Tokyo just add more buses trams cab and make the wait time a little less in my opinion the only time you should consider adding another system is when you're building another part of the city instead of bulldozing the existing part of the city and adding the structure into it.
It is actually possible to use the Parallel Road Tool to create a road parallel to the train tracks! To do this, with the Parallel Road Tool selected with adjusted settings, you then somewhat "build over" the railway tracks. Hopefully this helps 😊
Just to mention: did you know that buses can ride in pedestrian roads? I think it would be better to use a pedestrian road in front of the downtown train station, because right now with the one way road you have a lot of private cars on it, slowing buses down a lot
They can also travel both ways on pedestrian roads, although for some reason you can only place the shelters on one side, you have to use the sign to get them to stop on the other side
@@SineN0mine3 that is true and a bit annoying, but I found that you can control which side has the stop by using the update road tool and re-draw the pedestrian road over itself in the other direction
I'm currently on a save that has ~150k citizens, more than 90% of the population uses the subway system, you only need to build one station every 2 blocks, it pretty much pays for itself, parking and subway tickets are probably 90% of my city's income, works especially well if you place restrictions on car traffic and charge parking fees
Need subway system. Plus, the bus stop with 600 people waiting: you can add 2-3 bus stops one near each other, and make 2-3 additional bus lines. Plus increase the number of busses on that line. If you have that much people on a bus stop, you don't have alternatives...
FYI: if you want highways AND power, you can upgrade the highway with lights (in the last tab on roads) and it will magically carry power. No similar upgrade for water/sewage alas.
42:00 You can run roads parallelly too trains and opposite tho. Just run it on top of the train track with parallel on, it will only build the new parallel road. Or apposite if building a track along a existing road.
Yeah I've noticed theres a sweet spot where the game runs. If you zoom in close just far enough away to not see the people it runs fine. If you zoom in just a little bit lower it has to load the people and that's when it slows down. But my city is pretty large, much larger than this one. I'm running a Geforce 2060 Ti and run it on max settings. It does good enough till I get a 4060.
Since I found this channel I've been binging this series, I love everything your doing here. Except the Emerson square station and the tracks going in and out...
Just wondering as it probably wouldn't work in your city, but can you built a freeway or something like that along the ground, then another of the same thing but elevated above the first running the same direction? So parallel with the first one. Basically stacking roads like some cities around the world do. Also good work on starting to incorporate some roundabouts in the city, hopefully they prove useful.
See those two tracks through the center of the train depot? I'm pretty sure your supposed to run your regional rail trunk on those two tracks rather than branching off to install the depot. Then you make sure to keep it near the edge of your active time so that the trains always come out on the correct direction.
The threw road that crossed the tracks on right side of emerson station might be able to sink or bridge over the tracks that is going to be your next choke point due to train and traffic bcking each other up (also turn off redlights on bus road outside train station, they will flow better and replace some of the pedestrian roads with normal paths to reduce intersections)
Yeah I had same issue with busses and train station, over 1000 people waiting at the bus stop alone, and about another thousand for the train it self, I liked the train station but when it caused that many people in the small area. I fixed the issue by deleting the train station and it fixed all the issues, for some reason almost all the people wanted to use the train to go outside the city, it was stupid.
I’m 99% sure trains actually switch directions in CS2. I was very surprised when they did in my game. they will back out towards the main track, than swap directions and move forward. it’s pretty cool but i’m sure would create traffic lol
Loved the video, little late to the party 3 days later but did you know the railyard middle track (double) can be used as pass-through track, so you could put the railyard on the track itself and let other trains just pass through.. its a 'major major' win on terrain!
25:53 you could bring one of the tracks to the right up where the regional line is coming from.. if you were to make a little village/town there, it would be good for them to have a rail line that comes straight into downtown.. glad i found your videos, really like the content! ❤
I think merging the three train lines together as early as possible saves a lot of headaches and space. Because there is not really a benefit having all three lines going in parallel for that long.
I think you may have some PTSD regarding centering buildings from CS: Original Flavor. If you turn off snapping, you can center things. eta - Great work as always, your projects in CS (either flavor) always jump to the top of my watch lists when available, thank you.
Nobody places the train depot properly. If you connect the main line to the centre lines of the depot, trains can still run through. It looks cleaner as you don’t need the lines curving off at 90°.
I think it might be a good idea to turn off the chirper in the bottom right of the screen haha, it's been a long time since its said anything new and it's rather distracting (hopefully it gets revamped)
I would remove the roads that cross the new hangar rails as it does't seem realistic. Usually those zones are private and pedestrians or cars can't go there.
First: a bus-lane should be a bus-lane. For busses only. Not an collector for everything that "just happen to be there riding (see all those looks at the buslane at Emerson Square). Than: 1) delete all buslines 2) make a real busstation near downtown (does not have to be near Emerson square) 3) make a >>good>good
Why not have a subway system. It probably has a bigger capacity than the Tram, doesn't use up your roads as much (could help with traffic), and would be easier to have better coverage. Also, the suburbs could use a train station or two to alleviate the strain on the bus system.
If you have to lines they should have diffrent purpose red for the new extenion and gold for the new station but not for the new extension if two lines go to the same route and station it will be pointles
extremely long bus lines just dont work, you end up having to add too many buses for it to be effective. Try having shorter lines that complement each other, and also feed your tram lines
I think your city is definitely ready for a metro system. much higher capacity than trams, and prevents waiting on the street. keep the tram, but add a metro too!
exactly what i was thinking
much more sensible decision that digging into buses and another train station in close proximity...
I love that even though you constantly have a deficit, your money still keeps going up. There has to be some hidden income that the game isn't showing you.
It's export of products. The game doesn't show that in the income tab for some reason. Whenever your truck or train exports either raw resources that you have a surplus of or a finished product, you get that money. I guess it doesn't happen frequently enough for it to be in the income tab.
City accountants are just money laundering. Nothing to see here
@@bornahorina7827 The import/export system is pretty buggy right now, not even sure if it's finished yet
Interesting. I figure he's jacked up all the parking prices
Nope. You don't get export money anymore. The bussiness get the money and make more profit and then you get more tax. The economy is broken atm.@@bornahorina7827
Props to the "Mustang" doing Mustang things at 0:11

Also, the traffic out there is gonna be super congested after a while, not to mention the accidents that are prone to happen when you gotta cross four active railways in a 500m span.
Regardless of whether you build a quarry out by the power station or not, a cargo station in that area is a very good idea
Aren’t they bugged currently? Exports are stuck in there and eventually your citizens will get mad cuz the mail is stuck in the cargo station
Yeah imports work but nothing leaves on the trains @@JustinVorrink
Love the public transport stuff. Cant wait for subways!
thats's why I was thinking too. subways would be great in this city.
You can build anather train station in the suburbs. Like many cities in india does . So peaple can take the train to downtown if they want to . And it reduces traffic. So it can be very good .
crazy that i started watching during software inc alpha 3 years ago, still putting out great content, keep it up man
I started watching around the same Time. Dylan has always been a great content creator.

Agreed, metro and trains for heavy lifting then use bus and trams as short distance feeders
If you use the divided 4/6 lane roads the Trams get their own lane which I found actually makes the Trams outpace my subway trains.
I solve the problem with the bus putting a Bus Line in the avenue and the highways
Hya. For Bulter Street near the Train Station, why don't you put a road tunnel underneath and a seperate Pedestrain Tunnel too. I think it'd look quite cool.
Surprised there's no subway system as yet

you should clear the trees around the big power pylons
your rail maintenace yard looks great but I was wondering why you didn't run the main line through it and save all the extra rail line? Thanks for the video.
I fell like everyone on youtube is only using trains and no one is using subways.
22:31 you don’t need to change the road, buses can run on pedestrian streets and you don’t even need to upgrade them with bus lanes
I was thinking this! Turning it into an ugly one way road looks horrible!
Not even 5 seconds into the video yet another mustang finds its way into a group of innocent bystanders.

Fun fact: there is a suburb in nsw called linden
Subway would have saved all the destruction part from the sport grounds?

Thomas Shelby is definitely up to no good, hopefully there’s an eye doctor somewhere near him 1:02:48
Hey Conflict, would be up to thinking about building an Airport? I feel like you could design such a nice looking to fit with your city
For inner city I think subway is he best way to go. The station is small
Need subway system. Plus, the bus stop with 600 people waiting: you can add 2-3 bus stops one near each other, and make 2-3 additional bus lines. Plus increase the number of busses on that line. If you have that much people on a bus stop, you don't have alternatives...

Love how mnay citizens are using your public transportation! Gives some inspiration for when my city gets up there!
Make a Subway Line for Linden please

Hey mate for the second half of the train tracks, from your new station. You can go under ground. Just a suggestion
you should build a metro system

The amount of train crossings look like a transit nightmare. Wouldn't subways be a lot more efficient?
I think you should make two bus depot in both far points of the city then you can manage it much more better and also traffic will be better
Can't wait for him to build a metro, it's going to be a complete pedestrian nightmare, worse so than before
Yeah I had same issue with busses and train station, over 1000 people waiting at the bus stop alone, and about another thousand for the train it self, I liked the train station but when it caused that many people in the small area.

Another entertaining video. But a small observation if I may, before mass destruction of residential you should prepare to instantly replace.
Your town looks so small for 90K people, mine is was twice as big with only 30K
Loved the video, little late to the party 3 days later but did you know the railyard middle track (double) can be used as pass-through track, so you could put the railyard on the track itself and let other trains just pass through.. its a 'major major' win on terrain!

Should probably restrict the access to razors and hats, that Thomas Shelby seems like a dangerous fellow.
I think merging the three train lines together as early as possible saves a lot of headaches and space. Because there is not really a benefit having all three lines going in parallel for that long.
Crazy. Use subways.
For anyone wondering, you can search for larger tram assets, I use the railwhale, 410 capacity lol
you're my favorite content in cityskyline plz keep content faster i do love to see your city every day 😍😍
I think you may have some PTSD regarding centering buildings from CS: Original Flavor. If you turn off snapping, you can center things.
eta - Great work as always, your projects in CS (either flavor) always jump to the top of my watch lists when available, thank you.
there is a solution... metro...
Electric vehicles are indeed quieter.
OMG!!!!
That tree remover techinque is what I needed yesterday!!! I hand removed about 400 trees
Nobody places the train depot properly. If you connect the main line to the centre lines of the depot, trains can still run through. It looks cleaner as you don’t need the lines curving off at 90°.
The office demand every episode is crazy 😂😂😂, maybe build some someday
29:58 You could try to build down the river a dam to hold the water. The bridges look kinda weird with that tall support.
Put a tram next to the train station 😊
offcource if delete so many big building,the cims have to go somewhere ,they not dispawning like cs1 ,maybe some will leave with the train.
Beautiful city!
I have a high end PC but my game becomes so laggy at around 20-30 k citizens and it's super frustrating....
I did around 200k pop
Public transport in CS2 is much better than CS1 and I can't wait to see CS2's version of Mass Transit! :D
instead of raised train-track, tunnels should be considered to still allow development on this prime property
Would be cool if you built a pedestrian only shopping street (like "Strøget" in Copenhagen")
I think it might be a good idea to turn off the chirper in the bottom right of the screen haha, it's been a long time since its said anything new and it's rather distracting (hopefully it gets revamped)
i cant wait for the video where you explore the airports! Love the videos man
Im at 120k users for 190k population, taxes reduced to 8%, and yet i make more than 400k$ per month. Very cool city.
You should do an over pass or underpass for the industrial in your train station area. It’s going to cause major traffic issues
Been watching so much Kibitz that I feel bad for anyone not making a custom intersectin for the trains 😢
why didn't you built a subway? you could upgrade the train station to integrate subway and then run the subway under the main city
I would remove the roads that cross the new hangar rails as it does't seem realistic. Usually those zones are private and pedestrians or cars can't go there.
First: a bus-lane should be a bus-lane. For busses only. Not an collector for everything that "just happen to be there riding (see all those looks at the buslane at Emerson Square).

Happy birthday! Heres to at least another 30 levels!
Always build your bridges before the connecting roads
Why there are no bike lanes?
Make a train station near industrial for people to travel to the area also make a cargo spaces there so that goods can be stored near by
If you have to lines they should have diffrent purpose red for the new extenion and gold for the new station but not for the new extension if two lines go to the same route and station it will be pointles
Recomendations for new players in cityskylines two have some diffrent line not to many not to less and have diffret purposes
A d this guys train systemthat is just developing is Busier then japans train system💀👁👄👁
Didnt know you could create outside connection like that :O Mind blown... runs to CS2...
So glad to see you back to the city skylines! 🎉😊
Your new industry area needs Police/Fire Station's
Of course in the first 20 seconds of the video we see a mustang go through a crowd of people
extremely long bus lines just dont work, you end up having to add too many buses for it to be effective. Try having shorter lines that complement each other, and also feed your tram lines
Yes the ground pollution does go away over time
Im sure you can parallel roads to go against a rail. just draw it in and the other side will be red and not place.
Give it a try ;)
You should move the trolkey line by the hub onto the busway. It would look amazing not sure for traffic tho
1:03:28 if you get the industrial waste processing facility the pollution goes down over time
Loving these frequent uploads.
Put a cargo train station next to your new Rail yard, for your new industry.
Gr8 episode! U ever thought about using the underground track system? ✌🏾
You should always start with tracks first and build the city around it
1:07 got me crying 😭
The performance issues with this game are so frustrating :(
You could build the station near the subrs and coal plant, both are right off the tracks
Atp , just build a subway dude😢
If you produce more power you can sell more power. Create a power line to the outside connection. Print that $$$ lol
