strategies to keep p****engers happy

Hi to all,

i am looking for strategies to keep p****engers happy, i feel it is not right just to link bus stops and bus stops just to increase the queuing at a station. I sometime add a railroad building next to the bus stop but this feels a bit like cheating.

Care to share your strategy ?

edit : i use pak64

Not sure that I understand your question. The only way to make p****engers happy is to give them a means of transport.

Is what you want is to change the color of the station bar to green? Then (as Combuijs is saying) you will have to increase the number of buses on the route.

I see that my question was not complete :

What i meant was, how to increase the station capacity in order not to be obliged to increase the number of busses.

I'm not sure, but I guess that you will get into trouble sooner or later again if you just increase the capacity. At some point, the extra capacity will just be used up.

i agree but when you have stations interconnecting several lines they are often overcrowded because the 32 p****engers / stop is really a small number...

maybe there are extensions with bus stops for more than 32 p**** ???

Ah, now I'm starting to understand. :)

Personally, I have never taken placing extension buildings of the "wrong" type as cheating. In fact, in creating my own pak sets, I have always ****umed that players would place buildings from the other menus. This helps keep the individual menus from overcrowding because of unnecessary duplication.

It is relatively easy to create new bus stops (pak files, that is) with higher capacity. IIRC, they will automatically be priced accordingly. I could even look into doing that tonight, if you wish.

I suppose I don't know this for sure - but isn't it possible to create an extension building for p****engers, like we have for mail and freight?

Code: [Select]
Obj=building
Name=Station_building
NoInfo=1
type=extension
waytype=track
enables_pax=1
level=4
dims=1,1,2
cursor=bdz.0.0
icon=> buildings.5.4
BackImage[0][0][0][0][0][0]=buildings.5.2
BackImage[1][0][0][0][0][0]=buildings.5.3
needs_ground=1

My first guess would be that you just replace "track" with "road" or something similar. I am starting to forget this stuff. (I promise will work a bit on simutrans again when the academic year is over, and the conference/travel season begins.  ;))

You could do without tracktype. The extension buildings for reight could be also one for p****engers. Also the airport ones are high capacity.
