Industry problems

[kenyanpunk01 12]

Ok so here's my situation

I have a city that has three zones (basically) seperated by rivers (in essense, one must cross a bridge to get to the next zone). One for industrial and two for rez and commerce right.  The city is about 25,000 but i have encountered one problem that i just can't understand....

Although all the networks are connected, people don't seem  to take the bus, drive, or monorail to the industry.  In fact, no one works in the industrial areas at all.  BUT, the bus stops show that there are people using the bus stops. But, there are no path's (when Transport query is done) that tell where they are coming from.  The bridge shows no drivers or buses.  Yet the rest of the city is sprawling and growing...

help please... i've been workingon this for a long time and spending money to fix it constantly (and i've destroyed and restarted the city several times).  THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS EVER HAPPENED

Lemme guess, despite no one actually working at the factories according to the route query, the factories still send out Freight Trucks? And when queried the buildings themselves report having workers despite showing NO commuters?

I know exactly what you mean, and in 5 years of playing this game, I don't know why it does that.

I would also like to know the reasoning behind this, does anyone know?

that's exactly it!  And i refuse to build more industry until traffic starts going that way, did you find a a way around it Socko? It's dwarfing my city growth

i had an issue like that as well. someone mentioned to me that depending on the bus stop you use, it calculates all the traffic that goes through it and uses that stretch of road/street/avenue, not just those who use the bus stop. ie do cars etc use it when you query the road? maybe another thought...how much of your population are R$ & $$? if they're all rich people, they won't want to work in dirty industrial.

good luck.

No cars either, sorry,only freight trucks use the roads.  and i have about 2 thousand R$$$ and the rest are all R$$ & $

Does it say that people are using the road but are they not showing that anyone uses them?? Look at the route query and then determine if people are using it anyways!!

[kenyanpunk01 12]

Let me restate this

The only things using the roads, according the route query, are the freight trucks. BUT, the industrial factories still show workers and the bus stop query say that they are in heavy use.

But no sims are traveling on it
