First, I would like to start by saying I didn't read all of this thread, so perhaps this mod has already been suggested, if so I apologize. I would like to make a mod request to add the ability to set mass transit ticket prices for: Buses, Airports, Blimps, Ferry's, Trains, and Streetcars. Buses for example could work maybe something like a 0 to 3 for a Park and Ride, a 0 to 5 for the Shuttle Bus Depot, a 0-10 max for Bus Terminal, and 0-12 Double-Decker Bus Terminal. (all of that is per rider) All you would need would be a single line entry like the tax% on the budget panel with the - and + buttons on either side, where it has a maximum amount except this price would be input when you clicked on the mass transit facility, in theory you could make multiple bus stations and charge different prices allowing you to focus on specific areas of your city. The higher your prices the less satisfied your passengers and the fewer riders you get. If you had gone through the trouble of adding enough other positive things (like parks and shops and schools and hospitals) you could essentially charge full price, but u'd have to work for it. It would make it more difficult to manage each small neighborhood to get the best density vs happiness (business density for tourists and residential density for your city's sims) to maximize profit. That way we can make money off of our tourists and residential population. This would basically create an entirely new specialization from an existing feature. It would also off-set the cost of other non-money-making services in our cities or if you went through the trouble of making a service city it would net you a nice hourly income. I think non-tourist cities who want to specialize in residential income and focus on maxing out population (a very common goal for many simcity gamers) to increase mass-transit income. I also think it would make the game a bit more realistic, as most cities in reality either tourist or residential gain money through mass transit, generally this is offset by other service industries, but I think there is a huge need for it. I think that this could even become one of the more popular mods on here because I think most simcity players get tired of the small amount of city specializations and sometimes would like something else to do especially towards the endgame. This could work best with: Culture/Gambling/Omega Co./Industry/Commercial cities/Population/Sim-Tower/Education. And above all I think it really fills in a niche that the game has shockingly overlooked.
