GLR/Avenue stations

[Grunn 0]

A brief search turned up nothing so here goes.

I´m currently unable to get traffic moving through any of the RMT GLR/Avenue pieces, the stations simply dont allow transit through them, passengers can board trains but the trains cannot pass through the station, when testing in U-drive mode these tiles are impassable to both GLR and road traffic.

Is there some trick to making these stations transit enabled that i missed?

I had the same problem. I just gave up on it and have been experimenting with using 1 way streets on both sides of the GLR.

Have a look in the tutorial "GLR & Tram-Avenues Gameplay: Basics & Tricks", Section 6. You find it at https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/index.php?topic=4623.0

me too!!

I followed the tutorial carefully, did exactly as it says, got the compatible glr avenue stations but it still doesn't work, i mean there's no traffic via them. and it's not because all the traffic goes throw the avenue, i tested that, tested varios possibilities.

the regular glr stations (not avenue) work fine.

moreover, i have BUS transport via the GLR-ed avenue (between GLR stations), despite NOT HAVING any bus stations.

???

and in U-drive i can pass through them

You have to run one way roads through the avenue that station is on. IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION, or it will not work

 Are you using shmails stations? They are are glr/avenue stations + bus staions. And as tristan4eva said, you need to drag the one way roads in the right direction.

 There's a tutorial on youtube for glr in avenue stations. Just type sim city 4 tutorial glr in the seach box. There should be a video made by a guy named erwinnegetig. Watch it.

Hi folks,

I'm having similar problems with shmail's in-avenue GLR stations. I can't get any GLR traffic on them.

I have the NAM update, I've got tram skins, I've run one-way roads through the stations in the proper directions, and I get bus traffic... plenty of bus traffic, over 3000 in one case. But no trains. I can't see them, and they don't show up on my traffic-monitor.

Any suggestions?

Recently, a small problem with the transit enabling was discovered that affects most of the current GLR-in-Avenue stations. I will fix this problem at SimCityKurier, but unfortunately, I cannot fix gshmail's upload here.

Fair enough - thanks for letting me know. I'm going to work go work on my German for SimCityKurier :-)

Shmail's GLR Avenue station is also transit enabled as a bus stop. Unfortunately people seem to like buses alot more than Trams so you never seem to get any trams but you do get lots of buses. To make it work as a pure tram stop you first need to disable the buses. You can do this using the TE Editor component of SC4Tool.

The SC4Tool (SFBT) can be found at

www.kurier.simcityplaza.de/details.php?file=315

The download link is hidden right at the bottom of the webpage. The TE Editor component is very useful and will enable you to remove the Pedestrian to Bus transits. It will then work as a pure tram stop. Looks good and works.

This is highly dependent on which traffic simulator you use.  With Traffic Simulator Z, the tram usage is much higher than the buses.
