About This File

These lots came about out of a desire to get better use out of the Highways through busy areas, where adding more onramps just wasn't feasible. I also wanted to encourage public transport use; if I could get my sims onto busses on the fast highways, I could make their trip more efficient (i.e. shorter).

These lots act as a transit hub for bus and subway. Sims can bus/drive/walk to the station, then catch a bus along the highway, or jump on a subway train if you've connected it up. The lot must be plopped over a ground level highway (or plopped and have a GLHwy dragged through it). It should also be connected by road on the side(s) if you want the sims to be able to drive/bus to the station.

There are two sizes: 2w x 4d and 2w x 6d (for those that put access roads two tiles from the highway). The lots are found in the Misc Transit menu.

These lots are BSC Tracking Enabled (BTE) which means they may contribute to Reward Chains.

*cough cough* *absolute genius* *cough* Sorry, had something in my throat. And I'm so glad that the building model matches up so well with the network models...I've seen so many TE lots that match with networks poorly.

Downloaded and started using these. Love the concept and the design. Only problem I found is the 2x6's capacity is set at 100. Otherwise it's great!

Still love the idea, and this one looks even better than the other!

eternalrsx - you're right. The 4x2 is set to 10,000, but somehow the 6.2 has reset back to 100 (which is bizzare as I cloned the 4x2 lot to make it). I'll fix and re-upload tonight.

Awesome lot. Very usefull. It could have a longer (more realistic) ramp. Otherwise it's perfect.

cowcorn - I agree. This was one of those "sacrifice reality for game usability" situations.

Hah! Brilliant! Will download once re-uploaded. I've seen something similar to this in Brasil along the rural highways (poorer regions, no personal conveyance), only "dumpier" and not quite so flashy. Maybe a re-issue could be done, with a simpler concrete bench-and-overhead awning?
