Kim Sunwoo: It was all Sunwooton's fault anyway (or specifically the industrial estate. That was causing all the traffic lol).

As for disconnecting the highway at least I provided some alternate routes while the work was happening.and the good thing about being a Crown Prince is that they can't really unelect you lol.

And I'm glad your enjoying the journal despite the fact that some of my methods may be a bit questionable lol.

Mymyjp: Thanks, I'm glad your enjoying my efforts at fixing stuff!

Entry 17: Then two come along!

Right, today we finally have a entry about public transport. After saying we need to install one for the last like 7 or 8 entries we finally have one running. As for what this entry is going to entail it may be a bit boring for non transport minded people as its just a look at the various routes that we've set up throughout the city.

Anyway let's make a start at the actual Bus Depot here in Central Gabtoria. This is the only dedicated ummm, bus place so far. The three bays that you can see serve the Gabtoria Central line, Gabtoria regional line part a and Central Gabtoria to Prenston line all of which you'll see in a minute.

As for the actual system basically were working on a series of town services and then several city wide ones that link the various town ones together. Please also note that the bus lines at the bottom are to give you a idea of the number of stops rather than the actual stop names. I really need to fire the guy that we hired to do that, they don't really make much sense. (OOC: I'll try and remember to rename them at some point.)

Anyway let's have a look at the various lines in number order.

Line 1

Central_Gabtoria_bus_line_entry_17.jpg

Line 1 is the Central Gabtoria line starting at the bus depot and doing a loop around Gabtoria before returning to the depot.

Line 2

Sunwooton_to_Nielton_line_entry_17.jpg

Line 2 runs from Sunwooton to Nielton (or the other way around, I can't actually remember, it definitely passes through each of the towns though)

Line 3

Nielton_line_entry_17.jpg

Line 3 is the longest line running around the entirety of Nielton, starting and ending on the highstreet and running through a number of stops around the town.

Line 4

Gab_pnt_to_Riverside_entry_17.jpg

Line 4 runs from Gabtoria Point to the Riverside industry area. At this point you can also see that the lines are getting a bit crazy and overlapped but oh well, you can still make out the yellow Line 4.

Line 5

Prenston_line_entry_17.jpg

Line 5 is the Prenston line which takes you from the centre of Prenston Grove, into the neighbourhoods and then out to the Freight Station and around the industrial estate,.

Line 6

Gabtoria_regional_line_part_a_entry_17.jpg

Line 6 is part A of the Gabtoria Regional Line where you go from the bus depot in Central Gabtoria,, into Gabtoria Industrial Estate, then through L'nxham and Sunwooton before making a loop in Nielton and finishing in the centre of Nielton where you can get a transfer onto the part B line shown next.

Line 7

Gabtoria_regional_line_part_b_entry_17.jpg

Part B of the regional line takes you from Nielton, into Gabtoria Point and Riverside before swinging into Nomyton and then heading to the Freight Station and Prenston.

Line 8

Gabtoria_to_Prenston_linr_entry_17.jpg

Line 8 is pretty much a express version of Line 6 + 7. This line take you straight from the bus depot in Central Gabtoria to Nielton highstreet then straight through to Prenston Freight Station and back, allowing a quicker journey if your going from the two main points of population (Central Gabtoria and Nielton)

Right, that's shown all our lines so finally for this entry we'll let you take a look at the city books. I mean hell, if I'm going to provide some public transport for our citizens then I'm sure as hell going to make some money form it (someone did mention that we should make it free but I fired him for stupidity).

Anyway now all we have to do is wait and see how it affects our traffic (hopefully in a positive way) so until next time.

(OOC: Sorry if you found this entry a bit boring but I thought it would be a good idea to finally actually introduce the public transport. I'll try and do a entry about looking at the city to offset it next time.

Cheers

James)
