Greetings,
First thing I'd like to say is a big thank you to the development team, you've created a great game that has given me many hours of enjoyment. I hope the game will continue to improve and that the community here continues to thrive.
I'd just like to make a few suggestions that I feel would greatly improve the game experience. One thing that many others have already brought up is the hopeful future inclusion of the train stations, airports, theme parks, intercity passenger and freight trains as well as the barges that the first game had. These additions would really give the impression of a living, breathing city that goes about it's business regardless of your input. The only thing I would add to this is that if these things do get brought back into the game they should be places of much activity, with lots of foot traffic and maybe congested roads around them with a more or less constant flow of people who need to be brought to and from these places. As a small aside, would it be too difficult to add taxis to the game? It would seem natural that if you fail to provide sufficient transportation to people then they could be served by taxis which could also double as visual hints of places that need better transportation.
Another cool addition would be events that take place in your city from time to time, such as sporting events, festivals, political conventions, and other such things. For the duration of these events your city could see greatly increased traffic and congestion as many more people are visiting the city. Depending on the way you handle things these events could be very profitable both in monetary terms and reputation if you are able to handle the greater load of passengers well, or they could be detrimental to your reputation if you bungled the opportunity.
One last thing that could be a good addition would be weather. Bad weather such as heavy snow or rains that could clog up your system could be interesting. Perhaps during these periods of time you would have to spend much more money in an effort to keep your system running smoothly.
Well that's it, just thought I'd throw out a few ideas. Perhaps many of these are too difficult to implement but if they aren't I believe they could add a lot to the enjoyment of the game. Thanks again.
