Speed limit on city roads
Updated on 11/4/04 by Webmaster | |
There is a speed limit of 50 km/h on city roads (in Simutrans 0.84.1.0 and later)
You should consider this if you buy new busses and trucks. |

Connect cities by rail only

Connect cities with rail only (a loop track with multiple trains). Otherwise you still need 50+ busses.

How passengers select their route
Submitted on 6/2/04 by Webmaster | |
Passengers are not selecting the shortest route. They select the route with the least number of transfers.
Passengers currently count the transfers between transportation modes.
I.e. change from bus to train = 1 transfer. They try to use the route with the least number of transfers. If there are "equal" routes, they use whichever they find first.
Note from webmaster: every change is counted (Even that from bus to bus)
As of Simutrans 0.84.8 (This will change sometime)

Passengers are changing the transport vehicle
Submitted on 6/2/04 by Webmaster | |
Passengers are changing the transport vehicle to reach their destination. A passenger will at most change the vehicle 30 times.
As example a passenger will use a bus to drive to a railway station where a train to his destination is waiting. |
