Manukau Rides 3.X: Let Me Entertain You, OR GET OUT AND TOUCH THAT GRASS (by going to university)

Whatever it may be, Manukau Ranges has the amenities and the facilities, connected by transit!

This city is built using the Volchoria Map from ‪@paradoxinteractive‬ Mods: Volchoria Map

Each blog post will contain either:

The standard X.X series where I undertake City Building along with talking Planning Methodology.
The Manukau Rides X.X series where I jump on the transit system and travel around. Often used to see where problems might occur best seen at ground level.

Manukau Rides 3.X Transit is not just about the commuter, it is about EVERYONE that makes a City, a well city!

Time to engage in my favourite pastime in #citiesskylines and #citiesskylines2 – riding my public transport services! Not only because dropping down to ground level will indicate problem areas, but also the 🙂 (or 🙁) from seeing your creation first hand is just something else!

Needing to get to the university for your studies, or do you just need to get out and just touch the grass?! Enter Manukau Rides 3.X where we take different trams and buses between the City Centre and various amenities nextdoor in Manukau Way, and Manukau Riverside.

Also a demonstration that transit services are more than just serving commuters! It serves the people, and the City – as a whole!

As always; enjoy as the fares are only $3!
