I've preordered the physical copy from Amazon, which should be dispatched tomorrow. I am desperate to get my hands on it, I loved the beta. I will expect some problems but hopefully Origin will be sorted by Friday.

That does sound like a bug as the buses should snap onto the plot already. Maybe try placing more bus stops too?

More likely a density issue, as the others have stated. In the Beta 2, I was easily getting over 50k in an hour. Build amenities/services based on your demand on wealth.

Have you reported it to Maxis as a bug? Seems a rather expensive (for Simoleons) bug!

Friday for me in the UK! Amazon still has my order as 'not yet dispatched'. Hoping for a Friday delivery!

It's all about demand. If you have a huge $ demand then ensure you have resi on your avenues and medium roads and they will develop. I find in my hour of gameplay, I start to see the medium resi buildings around 40 mins in.

I will ad mine later today, my best city has had 50k+ residents so far.

I've just tried to get a beta key through amazon chat but to no avail

I've not got any keys yet, if I remember correctly, they emailed me with 'play simcity now' on the day last time.
