I've put busstops on my busiest road, nobody is using them. What's wrong?

People on the road already have transportation.
I think maybe bus stops should go in high population areas.

Actually they need to go everywhere but really rich people don't use them on the other hand in the last city I was messing with I had bus stops and subways everywhere and that and walking seemed to be the main form of transportation. >> Stay informed about: Bus stops

If you have, for instance a deep residential zone with a long ride to work in the industrial zone. The road will congest quite quickly and areas deep in the resisdential zone will not develop or develope poorly. A couple of bus stops in the residential zone and then another in the industrial zone will help some of the sims complete their trips. As with everything about this game, just experiment and see what works. -- Just my $0.02 worth. Hope it helps Gordon Reeder greeder at: myself.com Hey EVERYBODY!

Absolutely but it depends to some degree on local income and you need buses and everywhere. It doesn't hurt if you have subways near bus stops. >> Stay informed about: Bus stops

I put one on every corner, eventually hook up the subway system, and traffic is just not an issue. Sherrie >> Stay informed about: Bus stops

Sherrie: What is the name of this transportation device? Is it "A Bus Stop Subway Station"?

It isn't something that couldn't be done in any city. Neither is light rail though that doesn't seem to be offered in the game. >> Stay informed about: Bus stops

I put one on every corner, eventually hook up the > subway system, and traffic is just not an issue. > > Sherrie Actually, I meant to say I put a station on one corner of every square in my grid, not every corner. I believe it's called a Subbusway station -- and I guess the only reason I consider it to be cheating a bit is because it's something that isn't included in the regular game.
