Forum: SimCity 4 General Discussion

But in one perticular city, the second-largest in the region, the demand...

I really like this game but I can't seem to get the mass transit to work. What I understand is that a SIM will only take the shortest and not the quickest route. So therefore a SIM will not take steps backwards to a bus stop, he will only go to a bus stop that is imbetween his house and work. So...

I'm running into a strange glitch wherein the bases of certain tiles - such as the Graveyard, the water treatment plant, and the University - appear to be transparent. They show the gray grid underneath the "world." My video drivers are up to date, and I'm using an NVidia Geforce 7600 GS. Has...
