Thanks for your comments. It has been challenging figuring out the best way to work with residential needs more than industry and commercial combined My first attempt with trams totally wrecked a city. I'm on my third incarnation now doing part of it underground. Cant help but think that much pollution in a tunnel would suffocate the poor sims LOL. I look at the towns and cities around me in a whole different light now. light rail versus heavy rail it's a possibility but I was hoping to have an inner city transport system , can that be achieved with regular rail tracks?

One of my biggest problems with my cities as they grow is traffic. I've tried subways and (with many issues) elevated rails but my success has been hit or miss. My latest try was trams. They have been very helpful traffic wise but they appear to be heavy polluters. I thought - without any prior knowledge mind you - that trams were a more green solution than regular rail so I was very surprised. Does anyone have good pollution management in place for their trams? Please let me know if you do. Thanks p.s. my "many issues" with elevated rails has been with rail stop connections connecting to the rail tracks. The "many" in that is I've tried several different versions with limited success.

I am still very new to the game and this is the clearest description I have found. Thank you. Wish I'd read it a few days ago. I had put an airport next to some tech industries and they all were abandoned in short order.
