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.
