Problem with transportation 😥

[Luna_90]

Hello! I started this game literally 2 hours ago, and I think I understand pretty much how it works, so far.
But I have a problem with transportation. Right where the city was built, there's an intersection. The city is low on happiness because of transportation. How do I fix it? I tried putting on a traffic light, barriers for noise, ANYTHING. What's my problem?
Sorry for the silly question but I just can't get around it...

Build bus stops, build a bus depot, add bus routes, and upgrade dirt roads to country lanes when available.

This is the most economical way to increase transportation happiness, plus you get diamonds for upgrading the bus routes.

Oh, ok... thank you for your quick replay! I guess I'll have to wait for that, I still have a small village But I'll remember for the future! I have a couple of intersections with pollution and such...

It's also a good idea to keep residentials away from the polluting industries.

So heres the trick.
Because the transport routing system sucks in this game.

Do not connect the roads at an intersection.
Let the road end so the vehicle doesnt have a path. It will stop all traffic jams. The roads can be touching without being connected but still look connected.

Eventually someone smart enough will come along and correct the transport programming in this game. We should be able to spawn our own vehicles trains planes busses and trucks and give them orders. Buildings should produce and accept cargo.
Give it time someone will figure it out...

Thank you for the comment!
So far I fixed it just by adding more roads. It's not that pretty looking, and pretty much everything is in 3x3 spaces... I wish there was a way to see the metro going, and how many passengers are flying and taking the taxi, because after all that hard work it seems like the streets are just as crowded anyway
I'd be happy if they'd fix it, like you said, but it's still a pretty awesome game!
