Traffic and Transit Optimisation Part 3 #citiesskylines2

In the final episode of our traffic and transit optimization series, we tackle the well-utilized buses in Neo South Auckland’s bustling Manukau sector. We confront the constant challenge: bus versus tram. We dissect urban geography basics, expose the futility of a one-lane solution to congestion woes, and unravel unexpected tram bugs. Ultimately, we emphasize that cities, like living organisms, demand consistent growth and optimization. Stay tuned as we preview the main City Centre's Greenfield development next. It’s time to hop on for the thrilling ride!

Traffic and Transit Optimisation Part 2 #citiesskylines2 – Neo South Auckland

The Neo South Auckland gaming series demonstrates the rapid city growth and hurdles of urban intensification. Infrastructure, especially in transport, quickly transforms from surplus to deficit. To manage this, quick optimization of transport systems can ensure fiscal prudence. This includes altering bus lane placements for efficient traffic flow before resorting to bigger infrastructural changes like tram introduction. Optimization also reflects on real-life benefits of multi-modal systems, highlighting the potential of gaming in urban planning.
