People have jobs. The “slum” we discussed last week has begun to come around and seemingly, it was an easy fix. This particular neighborhood had a couple bus stops, usually with only a 30% usage. But after noticing a few empty corners with no bus shelters or transit, we added a few more. That worked. Within a couple sim days the no jobs logos disapeared and transit boosted its use to something we now don’t know how to handle.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The photo above shows a neighborhood corner in Spacington- our slum neighborhood from last week -with one of the new bus stations. This station since its beginning has had usage of about 134% and seen 1340 Sims in and out its doors in just one month. More than it can handle, more than we know how to handle -there is already stations of almost every corner.<\/p>\n

Needless to stay, the bus and slum problems we used to know aren’t really problems anymore. So then what’s next?<\/p>\n

For next week:<\/strong> What if we did subways? Just what if?<\/em><\/p>\n
