--- Quote from: devildogelite on December 30, 2012, 07:29:58 AM ---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? --- End quote --- Depending on the amount of high speed transit relays you have. many subways and many roads are good. busses are alright if you need them and trains are just eyecandy IMO. Also, PARKING GARAGES ARE GOOD. |

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. --- End quote --- --- Quote from: GEN.Fire Bird on December 30, 2012, 07:24:28 AM ---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. --- End quote --- thanks for the advice. I do have a stuffload of all civic buildings practically, and an int'l airport and lots of one-ways. can't do a marina I think, I don't think I fulfill the minimum water percentage requirement. |
