What's with all those taxis/cabs jamming my city?

[WJ_Webhog 12]

Hi there,

 

My current city is getting jammed by thousands of yellow taxis/cabs every other morning. It is so bad that the city remains jammed for the entire day.

They seem to pop out of commercial buildings (maybe hotels) or the airport. I am not sure where they are heading or why there are so many.

By my airport there are so many that maybe 95% of all cars are taxis.

 

The pity is that there is no actual dashboard/leaderboard to monitor how many taxis are generated in your city within a day. Surely it surpasses all other forms of transportation.

 

The funny thing is that I don't seem to get this drama every day, some days trafic is just fine / fluid.

 

Any ideas?

 

Regards,

 

WJ

They're tourists. For whatever reason, tourists seem to always leave in flocks.

They probably all want to board on the same plane or the same train...

Actually, I think you'll find that there is a hotel somewhere spewing them out infinitely.

 

There does seem to be a small bug where a hotel (as in a C building that is a hotel, not a ploppable) will generate waaaay more cabs than it has guests. Demolish that hotel and you should return to a sensible number...

I guess this is those ugly hotels that look like medieval castles... I often have a dozen in my city... really repetitive.

It's also those buildings (that ugly looking type) that always go bankrupt, almost one every other month.

I keep bulldozing them, by they sprout back, as if they never learned that they went bankrupt two weeks earlier...
