All this light rail can be configured quite elegantly. For a downtown area, you might consider GLR, with Elevated Rail feeders and subway transitions as needed. At the destination end you need bus service to get people to work from the station. Urban heavy rail works well, can be anywhere, and stations are cheap, which means you can have a lot of stations. Since the transition pieces for these are 3 x 2, you have to have good length and you must use them or your path finding goes awry. A MAVE-6 occupies the same space as an AVE-4 (Maxis avenue), but currently has some drawbacks which will be fixed on the next release.

#SIM CITY 4 TRANSPORTATION UPGRADE#

I upgrade overloaded roads to avenues and overloaded avenues to MAVE-6s as needed. Sometimes upgrading adjacent streets to OWRs works best. When the street becomes too congested, it is possible to add subway, but remember subway only absorbs pedestrian traffic and some of the bus traffic. Upgrading a street to a road with updates of RTMT stations is natural and good. I grow my downtown as indicated, and am not at all shy about demolishing (cherished) skyscrapers. I tend not to have a really packed up city, but a scattering of sub-urbs with a downtown. It, and every other transports system except ground heavy rail, has no built-in parking, so you have to provide parking garages and/or bus service.ДЇor myself, I use streets a lot, and sometimes decorate them with SAM textures to distinguish fancier sub-urbs. It is more expensive than anything else unless you adjust the fares in the simulation control program. I realize that monorail looks attractive, but it is really for long hauls like intercity transport. What about rail? Is rail a viable alternative to use with roads/avenues?

Would it be feasible to just use a monorail system as a ring around the city instead of criss-crossing it? Originally Transportation had a different icon.What's the advantage of monorail over elevated rail or even rail? Instead of using a combination of those options, would it be feasible to use only avenues and subways? Or that strategy will be doomed to failure once the population starts growing?.
