The game only has "here" (in this city) and "over there" meaning all outside the city anywhere in the region. A given city is completely unaware of the details of what happens across borders. The game doesn't track a given sim as soon as he leaves the city. If you want to call this a "bug" feel free, but it's the way the game works.quote>
So when you load the industrial city the commuters will commute to their jobs no matter how far it is? Given that their mode of transport isn't overcrowded? I'm very new to SC4 and I have soon filled a medium sized map with industry and the commuters are still taking the subway even though it's all the way across the area. I have the NAM though which makes this possible if I'm not mistaken.
