Separating the two lines will let the metros flow a little easier and reduce the waiting time for the tourists. Then do the same thing with the harbor metro station and the tourist district metro station. Make one tunnel loop between the airport metro station and the tourist district metro station. Therefore make metro stations, I prefer underground ones, at the airport, harbor, and the tourist district. A lot of tourists come from the airport and the harbor once you have them. Once you know all of this information, planning out the public transport Structure is easy. Another question is where do these tourists come from? For tourists, they want to go to landmarks, leisure spots, and the tourist district. Where do the people want to go? For residents, they will want to go to work either in the commercial or industrial districts and back home. However, if you have a few stops here and there, more people will be gathered at that one-stop, earning that stop more money.Īnother thing you need to think about is the destinations. That will be costly and inefficient because each stop costs money and upkeep and each stop will only have a few people due to the large choices of stops. For example, if you make a metro station stop every few junctions in your city, it will take forever for the people to reach their destination. Spamming public transport everywhere isn’t the way to go. Also, if you want to learn more about road layouts and road hierarchy check out the “How to Start an Awesome Cities Skylines City” post.) (It seems like there were a few mini Cities: Skyline tips with that tip huh? Well, the more tips, the merrier. Using irregular shapes when placing roads will make the town look more appealing with fewer traffic problems. Shapes like squares and rectangles tend to have more intersections. Think about it, do you like having to go through a traffic light after waiting for 5 minutes, just to be stopped at another one 30 seconds later? Your citizens don’t either and it clogs traffic.Ī great way to avoid this, besides using roundabouts, is not building with the grid. If you need proof that roundabouts do work, check out Biffa’s YouTube video where he replaces every junction in a city with roundabouts.Īlso, make sure your intersections are not too close to another. However, sometimes, basic roundabouts are not enough but you can add dual entry and exit points to improve the flow, and do not forget to make the roundabout the priority road. Roundabouts generally allow traffic to flow better than the basic junctions. In fact, it is generally a good idea to use roundabouts in areas that have busier traffic, mainly busy junctions. In the beginning, use a roundabout to evenly dispute traffic. If your entrance into your city from the highway is basic and small, eventually the entrance, exit, and the highway will be clogged from outside and inside traffic. Road Structure is important even at the beginning. You can watch this if you like a visual representation or skip past it and continue below for the rest of the post.)

Note: I’m pretty sure you do not need any DLCs to follow these tips, but if you are curious, I have the After Dark DLC, which you can get at Humble Bundle for Steam, (and help charity at the same time!!), or use a gift card for Xbox from Eneba ($18.51 at the time of writing for a $20 card.) The PS4 addition came with the DLC. Let’s go over each Cities: Skylines tip to see why each of these are important and how they help you get better at Cities Skylines and build the perfect city.
