Hi all,
I'm a new member here and was wondering if someone could offer me some advice please? I'm currently in the process of designing a new city and appear to be having problems with seeing any boats appear on the canal I've designed.
I'm using the canal mod from NAM and some of SimGobbers stations etc, but I'm seeing no canal boats at it. What am I doing wrong? Is there a mod I'm missing? Is the layout incorrect?
Would someone be able to offer me some advice please?
Thank you
Your problem in this case is that your residencial zone is 'overconnected', so commuters 'dissolve' in many different networks (roads, BTMs, canals, etc).
Besides, your stations are isolated from the residencial zoning by the BTM line: in the image, I don't see any place to cross and reach the station, so the 'rational' option for your commuters is to take the train (which is, itself, faster than the canals, and is nearer to the houses too).
My suggestion is to select ONE network to connect that sparsely populated area to the downtown: BTM OR canals, OR superficial transit. This doesn't implies that you have to remove the BTM line or the canal, but only the stations.
Good luck!
