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.

Heh, nice practical addition to the game, but I'd hate to see the cars zipping in there at freeway speeds to drop people off...

Great looking, those buses though must really have to floor it though to make it out at highway speeds.

This concept is really unique. I commented on the other one already, but these are excellent. And I don't care if these mean I'll have a contrasting colour highway section (I use the asphalt highways). These are good enough to warrant it.

nice but could you explain the difference between the 2 lots? is one with subway the other without? or do they just look different?
