Cities Skylines 2: Public & Cargo Transportation
Greetings, all! We are thrilled to delve into another instalment of our development diary for Cities: Skylines II. Today’s focus is the myriad options for public and cargo transport you have at your disposal as you cultivate your ideal city.
Public transportation forms a crucial cog in the complex machinery of an urban environment. As your city takes its first steps, buses and taxis are the go-to methods for ferrying your citizens around. As the urban landscape expands, potentially more intricate systems like tram networks and subways become viable options. Passenger train services can cater to local traffic needs too, albeit at the cost of some prime construction space for expansive train terminals.
Various modes of transport like buses, airplanes, ships and trains operate inter-city passenger services which facilitate an influx of new residents and tourists to your city. Buses rely on road networks, trains on inter-city rail links. Ships become feasible options on maps featuring large bodies of water linked to the map periphery. As for airplanes, they connect your city globally thanks to airports.
On the cargo transport front, businesses get their resources via delivery trucks and vans. You can bolster local industries and commercial entities by establishing cargo transport lines, which could include trains, ships, airplanes. These lines, in tandem with truck services, literally keep the wheels of commerce in motion. We’ve packed a brief rundown in the following video for an initial understanding before you dive headlong into the nitty-grity.
