Buses.

[Sinname]

Hello everyone

I have a question, why can not tourists arrive to the city by bus? I can't understand it :S
In my opinion there should be two types of buses, urban buses and interurban or international buses.
Maybe three different station: urban buses central, international buses central and bus depot.
The same for train: central and international station, normal station (smaller) and railway halt.

Urban buses:

Interurban and international buses:

What do you think about it?

In my opinion theres no point on having old bus.

Yes, maybe not at launch but I would like Devs add it after (like in Cities in Motion 1) I've seen some gameplays and I love it.
Anyway I've changed the pic.
Just different types of buses, for me, variety is beautify ^^
But, please, go more general, this is not the main topic

Also what about long busses? You know, the ones with harmonica in the middle?

I'm quite sure you mean "accordion"...

Articulated pusher busses. ♥ Would be the better solution than the little coach the can see on the screenshots.

Yes, accordion buses would be nice to see too ^^
And it helps increasing capacity of public transport in congested cities.
But... What do you think about interurban buses?
Shouldn't tourists can arrive to the city by bus?

I don't know, driving an old bus can be fun for a little while.

I agree, that something like a Bus Terminal like a train station for busses coming from the outer space would be realistic, necessary and a little nice feature. (For that, the acutal Bus models are perfect. But not for inner city public transport)

What do Devs say about it?
Say yes, please

That's actually very sensible

If it means what I think that I means, Good to hear

Hehe sorry, I have very little hand in development priorities. So unless someone from CO comes into a thread and says "we are implementing this for reals and we really promise to" consider everything a personal opinion

Simply, If Devs have listened what I said, It's enough for me.
I'm happy

What about this?

I really would appreciate this classical beauty for inner city transport.

Not a bad idea. But for me, tourist buses coming into the city would be mostly private operators and would operate like cars coming into the city. But they would need a drop off and pick up location/station. Maybe an intercity bus station could be an option to increase tourism in the first stages of the game before you build intercity trains and airport. It would give a small boost to retail and tourism and a small increase in traffic congestion on the major outside connection roads.
edit: I love those bendy-buses. They would be a nice upgrade option, similar to CXL's double decker bus upgrade option.

Very nice, I really like it Yellow is a great colour for buses and trams, much better than orange haha.

I totally agree with you, intercity buses should be from private companies but the station shouldn't, it has to be public. Good one

Not that it should be in the first release of the game, but here is some diffrent buses:
