Another bug + workaround: Sims stuck at streetcar stops

[DVDGuy 16]

Just discovered another weird bug and a possible workaround. I had a working streetcar route with average waiting time in the mid teens, but checked the stats again the other day, and it shot all the way up to 100+ minutes!

 

Examining the stops, I found that many stops had passengers that don't get into streetcars and just stay there forever. If you click on the sim, it just says so and so comes from the streetcar stop, and there's no "follow" button for the sim either. I demolish the stop and re-build it, and a few hours later, the same thing happens again. I even demolished all the stops, closed down the depot, rebuilt them all, and still the same - and it's usually always the same few stops.

 

I was ready to demolish the entire depot and start again, but luckily I found a workaround - just shut down the stop, wait a few minutes, and then open it up again. The "stuck" sim then just disappears and it's been a couple of hours and the same problem hasn't occurred.

 

Anybody else encounter the same problem?

I have somewhat a similar bug with the bus stops. What happens is that they stop over a bus stop and never leave from there. I just turn off and on the bus stop and that forces the bus to leave the bus stop. Only to do the same thing again later at the other bus stops XD

 

Iirc, these will be fixed at the upcoming patch.

I've never seen that one before, I just have an entire streetcar network, with no streetcars ever leaving their garages. That was money well spent on my part...
