One of the weirdnesses of SimCity 4, is that heavy rail generates no noise, no pollution, and no customers. Sims don't mind using a variety of different mass transit connections in each commute. Yes, rather like Cori and CB, I build my heavy rail and light rail at the start of each city tile, alongside my highways and bus rapid transit routes, focusing on high demand routes that are readily suited for ideal commute journeys from home to work.Ĭonnections are also important, the inter-city and suburban heavy rail needs to link up with urban light rail or bus rapid transit at the workplace end, to make it truly productive for attracting large numbers of commuters.
