I lifted this from the GameFAQs SimCity 4: Transportation FAQ.

Can you transfer Sims from one station to another in SimCity 4?Īpparently it is possible to have sims transfer from one form of mass transit to another, but they will always transfer on foot so make sure the end points (subway station, bus station etc) are as close together as possible, across the street from each other preferably. Appart from R$$$ sims never take public transport other sims choose for mass transit if it offers the shortest option to the destination. Other tips lie within, including pointers for building an effective freight transport network. How to build an effective rail network in SimCity 4? Subways are the same way, except they don’t use the roads, so they *can* lower traffic. Such a tiny tool, easily integrated into the budget panel, would have forced legions of geeks to at least learn the mathematical relationship between frequency, line length, and operating cost. Obviously, I want to draw my own bus, rail, and subway networks, and turn the frequencies up or down.

However, they still use the roads and are counted by number of sims, (hence no indication of individual bus capacity) which explains why they don’t lower traffic, only commute times. Sim City 4 is based on that exact assumption. You can also accelerate the process of converting your industries to high tech by placing this near your industry.
