Connecting 2 Cities with a METRO Network | Cities Skylines 2 Let's Play

Do you realy need a turningpoint there is it not just for the driver to change end of the train thats what them do here in Stockholm. Them when the train starts the outer way them just change track.

Hey timeister!!! I have watched every single buxton video from the start and in one of the videos you said you would build more in like the mountain park area but make it more with windy neighborhoods and nice houses I would rlly like to see that for the next part!

We need elevated subway stations in CS2. Idk what an overground subway would be without it being elevated.

Nice system BABE! Oh wait, nice BABE system! I guess it works either way. 🙂

Hey man,
sorry for my delayed response so I don't know if you"ll read this, but thanks for building this :D
Looks like the BABE just works! I'm looking forwards to see the future branch line extensions being build overground like streetcar-suburbs, except they're subways.

Hopefully soon we'll see the rise of the BUTT -network (Bixton Universal trolley-tram - network), either way, I hope you had fun building this :D

i think its a little bit unrealistic taking a track under the water cause realisticly the water is very deep and it would be much cooler if u put a track going beside the golden gate bridge instead im still facinated by the work you provide !

Also most subway trains have the same colour

I feel like the railyard’s location and connections are especially off. Maybe try to look on Google maps on how various systems are built. Toronto, Sydney or even Oslo might be great inspiration.

I love how phase 1 turned out subways do really have that much capacity the only real difference to heavy rail is they legally cannot commingle other than that a subway system is basically a commuter rail system. I think you should develop areas right by your stations to all have medium or higher density as that would probably really happen in real life, but i also think you should redo your entire bus network to feed off of your subway like most real cities do! Try to make busses be the 1st/last leg of the journey and all of the long distance travel be on the subway. 

I also think it would make more sense if you had to parallel rail corridors running through bixton to eliminate the S bend and to make your spur lines seem to have more of a purpose. You could have the subways going east to west and have bus lines in bixton to go north and south like manhattan. This also will help split subway traffic by having trunk lines running through bixton like manhattans 1/2/3 and 4/5/6 lines so the red line and the green line are separate but both run through bixton. My last suggestion for your eventual phase two is to change your one way lines from the depot into two way so the loop is just not needed at the depot and then you’ll have room to add another depot right behind the first one when you need it.

If you have traffic build up at the airport station it would be easy to make a bypass right under the station.

remember you can add a subway station to a train station, so passengers dont need to cross streets and such.

Instead of adding new depots try managing the number of trains on each route

I guess u missed one more branch at the far end of brixton

Please tell us more about the name Bixton and Auburn. Do you have a discord?

you normally don’t see subways in a low density suburban area. they have above ground metro stations that connect to different towns. subways are mainly for transportation through downtown

Loving your videos. Train stations and maybe the airport have subway upgrades. Also you should put parking near the stations so that sims can drive to near the station then walk from parking to the satation. You will get more usage. Also the trains can reverse, no need for a looped track just go back and the train will reverse and run back.

Also I can see what you were trying to do when mergin 2 single tracks into a double, but remember the double is 1 each way. So you can do 2 singles merging nice into a double so long as the singles are 1 in each direction, not the same.

The trains can go either way! They don’t need a loop to turnaround

You missed one Station

Traditionally agencies avoid terminating rail services in central business districts because of exactly the reason you had a problem - turn around is painful. Realistically, you would keep running the line out of the city to another spur and the trains would turn around there.

I really like your city but your public transit makes no sense. It's different options for transportations all going to the same places and basically just different choices to get to the same place. If you get off of one part of the public transport, for example the metro or train there is no way to get onto a bus or anything. If there is a bus it just goes to basically the same places. The achievement is called spidderwebbing with a reason, you want to create a spiderweb with a main line and different lines branching off. Currently it's just one big loop with all the transports basically doing the same.

I would’ve combined the red and yellow lines.

You missed a metor stop near the water

There's no way a real subway depot had so many separate tunnels, building underground is extremely expensive, they would do all the split and joining overground and then join all into a single tunnel

It'd have been cool to make the subway emerge from the ground at the train tunnel to run parallel runder the park... aesthetic would be cool with subway trains and regular running side by side. Really any small above ground sections would be cool!

Also, you better get to some of this TOD around the stations you made... I didn't forget my comment from last week 👀😂

Re: your comments about the subway yard. Yes, you're legal about the return loops. But, I strongly recommend you upgrade said yard as soon as possible. And, upgrade the single track lines to two way travel as well.

You should place lots of tourist atractions in the main urban park on the peninsula hill. Also you should start massiive upscaling in down town; on peninsula side of river wall high density apartment skyscrapers with high density offices and comercials doted now and then while on the other sound of the wall entirely high density offices.
Also you need massive industrial build up, you've had massive industrial demand for quiet some time now.

Colour scheme in CS2 is just horrible. You can't see anything.

why did you make it overground??? you already made a very steep dive from the depot and then made a roller coaster climb for the station?? like just keep it underground since it already was.. or make at grade crossings

if you can’t in one episode done, the future, definitely do the space/rockests and make it a whole little section, haven’t seen many creators do it yet :(

Can you do away with the shit water and get a treatment plant.

Train stations can have a subway station upgrade. Also you don’t need a loop in the stations. All subways I’ve been on at least can drive forward or back, there is no difference.

You don’t need to build turn arounds at line terminuses (ends). The train will just reverse out of the station and switch tracks. Also, in CS1, I had a station out of the way, so the metro trains just reversed out of the and continued on the other set of tracks, like the station was at the bottom of a Y. (Don’t know if this works in CS2, I assume so.)

WHY ID IT CALL "BABE"?!?!?

as of this video the city has a gdp similar to that of the COUNTRY of tuvalu

I think you forgot to connect the station in Bedford! You could put that one on a spur, and then extend the University line to there— that way it doesn’t have to awkwardly turn around at Central Station.

The train depot is overly complex, I want to build a city not be bogged down with making it work not to mention how much real estate it consumes

Your airport arrangement isn't that different from how DTW is arranged.

The downtown highway hurts my eyes, apart from that nice vid

damn that is a HOT babe

I wish there were some different metro vehicles in Cities: Skylines 2. Then the loop could have some high-capacity trains and the spur lines some lower-capacity trains. Wouldn’t that have been good, realistic and useful?

Fun fact: the Copenhagen metro is a loop, and they are currently talking about making another one, that will connect the two bigger islands Copenhagen is build on.

Next step is to design the bus routes to really serve the BABE and make it as efficient as possible
