Cities Skylines: Public transportation against traffic problems

Public transport in particular noticeably reduces traffic and should therefore be used a lot.

• You should add bus routes to your city at an early stage.
• Bus routes shouldn't just stay in one area. Ideally, have a bus route lead from the residential area via the commercial area into industry.
• The next step is subway stations and lines. The subway is expensive, but should still be used extensively. If possible, a subway station should be easily accessible from every point.
• Bus stops, subway stations and train stations should be as close as possible. So your cims can easily change.
• If you have particularly large traffic problems, introduce the "Free Local Transport" policy. Then public transport will be used even more, but you will also no longer make money from ticket revenue.
