hi all (this is my first post on this forum ) i've read many faqs and many threats on the forum, but i still can't manage to have a damn good city :-/ This is my city. In red you can see the mono rail It's connected on the left to an 100% industrial city These are the zones (Industrial is exclusively high) I've made 6x7 square-long zones, with, every time, a bus station and a subway station in one corner. In the center of every 'big zone' (5x5) there is an adapted school, clinic, police and fire dept. Finally (!) this is the subway network Is it well done ? too many connections ? The 'perpendicular' connections are OK ? I thought is was the good way to deal with mass transit but i still get a 45+ commute time and the citizens are quitting the commercial and residential zones, leaving the buildings empty. How cand i make my city grow, (more R$$$, C$$$,...) without making another city in the region ? I know these are pretty newbie's questions, but i want to have a big city with loads of $$$ and a 1min commute Thanx for your futures answers PS: i have SimCity 4 Deluxe without any mod
