SimCity 251: Shuttle Bus

Shuttle buses tote local passengers around the city so they can accomplish the day-to-day tasks they set out to do. This service is especially important for low-wealth citizens who can't afford to own their own car.

Another important aspect of a thorough shuttle bus service is the transportation of workers and tourists who come into your city site but have no car to travel long distances. Failure to service train stations, ferry piers, and streetcar hubs with shuttle bus stops will reduce their effectiveness and cost you money.

Module: Bus Garage

When thousands of Sims depend on your bus service to get where they need to go, wait times can begin to approach and then exceed an hour -- unless, of course, you add more buses to the system. Garages are required for each bus that travels a route and the more you have, the less time your Sims will need to wait. This may, at first, not seem important. However, the faster your Sims get to work, the more money you'll make in tax revenue. So keep your bus system well lubed and your passengers in motion.
