Changing School Busing cost

[costanzajpg 3]

Hi all. I'm trying to figure out how to modify an elementary school's default cost for busing students. Does anyone know the exemplar value to change? Searching online has found pertaining to this. I looked at the file in Reader, but there doesn't seem to be anything there. Things for school plot cost and school monthly cost, but nothing for school busing cost.

Thanks.

Hi!

From what we have seen on the traffic simulator, there's no differentiated transportation costs for schools, and I'm unsure if the simulator even calculates fares separately for any kind of public transportation; apparently, the only transportation cost is the networks' and stations' maintenances.

Maybe @Lucario Boricua could give a more detailed answer.

If you're talking about altering the cost of buses for students, you'd need to modify the school lots. If you use LEProp, you can edit these properties, but it must be done separately for each school lot you use. Same applies to the ambulance funding.

Meanwhile, the traffic simulator doesn't do anything regarding the cost or reach of services like schools or hospitals/clinics. As for how the game calculates transportation costs, it adds up fares based on distance traveled by each mode (not a single fare charged at the stations), along with the maintenance cost of each base network, per cell. These properties are set through the traffic simulator. Meanwhile, network construction costs are set through the network tuning parameters (same stuff used for tunnel and slope mods).
