Public Transit has 0 influence on the Simulation in Cities Skylines 2 whatsoever...

In this funny Cities Skylines 2 Video I show you if the Traffic in My City will collapse when I delete all Public Transport Services. The result is quite suprising!

If you liked the video you could consider supporting me on patreon:)

As a train driver, just the mention of our four enemies send shivers down my spine..

Ive defended this game, but that is damning evidence for a totally broken "simulation"

[kubaful]

As a programmer and modder, I'm really interested in this game because there is a deep simulation built into the game's code. But most of it is either bugged to the point of not working properly, or designed in a very weird and illogical way, probably to cut down on development time??

For example, with the HumanNavigationSystem, if there is a huge traffic, no transport line nearby that connects with destination, and the destination is too far for a walk, the citizen will just... abort the task altogether? Imagine if you decided to not go to work because there's too big traffic lol.

To me it feels unfinished, like there was supposed to be more added there, but it never was before release.


Another weird thing is working while attending school. Basically if Student has low economy worth compared to fees they need to pay, they will try to find job, or drop the school altogether to find a job. It'd be fine on it's own, except that "economy worth" isn't money, economy worth is literally every signle resource that belongs to the Student's Household. It includes car, books, medicines, basically anything that's a resource.

So if the student doesn't have enough money to pay fees, but the worth of their resources is more than the fees, they won't look for job, but they also won't sell these resources, resulting in them not paying rent and being evicted from the house????

Good to know that I designed a whole underground Chicago loop for my city for literally nothing

[fullyawakened]

I didn't stop at public transit, I deleted the entire game.

CS2 scales down traffic by reducing the portion of active citizens logarithmically with population, therefore at 140k population only 13% of citizens ever have the chance to go out to work or study each day. Also citizens can tolerant a surprising long distance of walk, often taking half of ingame day. Basically it's hard to build up traffic in the game.

The more I played, them more I realized nothing actually works in this game. At least not like it should. Except the road building features. Those are pretty cool. Aside from that, it is basically a digital city model builder. Cheaper and quicker and takes up far less space than a physical model. But as far as I can tell, none of the simulation functions actually do anything. It is all made up random numbers. Really sucks, since CS1 seemed to actually work very well under the hood.

[stefanevers]

great expirement. Really weird how nothing has changed.

The ending poem sounded like peak german humor, I had to chuckle out loud for once

[multimutantgamer]

This game needed another year in the oven

[DropIet]

This explains why biffas attempt at a cs2 city fix went the way it did...

[p.f]

Yeah, pretty much what my gut feeling told me as well. It just doesn't matter.
I'll come back to this game in a few months again to see how it's going, but I honestly don't have high hopes.

[gamingwithvindicator]

Wow, that's disappointing. But I appreciate you continuing to point out where the game could improve. Hopefully CO is watching.

[CitiesByDiana]

Honestly every time I had ANY traffic problems in CS2, although it was rare....the ONLY thing that worked was adding more lanes.

[ollyrl]

Can we also talk about even at 3am the traffic stays the same.

[MrOrzech]

It seems like c:s2 just became more of a game than simulation compared to c:s1

[opalyankaBG]

Interesting experiment. I wish we had a tool which would help us determine where to build transit lines. Currently we see where traffic accumulates but not in which direction the majority of sims are going. It would be cool to be able to 'hire' and pay an in game traffic survey agency to propose a few transit routes that will be most beneficial for your city so that you won't need to guess how to build your public transit

[mrhat]

looks like you need to invite LANE MAN to do a complete overhaul to your city. your roads need more lanes so your citizens will take the superior method of transit: The Automobile. the age of public transport is over

[KashiARTW]

When I was doing something else and watching this with the volume at its minimum, I burst out laughing hahaha when I saw the clips deleting various traffic routes midway. I guessed it must be that technique from someone called 'impetarur, ' and indeed, I guessed right. I subscribe to many CS2 creators, often starting to watch the videos that come in without checking who it is. Please keep it up.
