Nickelob Ultra:
how do I deal with "abandoned due to commute time" infecting my residential areas like a plague? I have bus stops, railways, subways, practically perfect system. why?
Wedge:
You need to zone an absolute stuffload of commercial, hi-tech, and manufacturing once you get skyscrapers because even the high density manufacturing plants provide enough jobs for 1/5 of a skyscraper. Your mass transit may be running over capacity as well - once you go over 100% transit speed falls off rapidly. If you're at like 400% usage on a bus stop then people probably aren't getting where they need to go.
GEN.Fire Bird:
What he said.
also, build:
1. an International Airport
2. a Marina
3. lots of hospitals, police stations, fire stations, schools and related educational buildings, more power plants and pumps.
4. One Way Roads.
this is to stimulate job growth nearby large residential areas and lower commute time.
Also, don't forget to make other cities around it with more jobs and housing.

I really enjoy Sim City 4, but man I suck at managing a transportation network.
I watched a few videos and they said to make a super city you would need to use multiple cities. Like one for industry one for commercial, if you do that will your commute time always be terrible?
