Clever use of zones can bring in the profit!Īnother heavily requested feature was the inclusion of a better, more detailed means to control fleets. Large cities with only one center can have a zone system like the London underground system, with the innermost city area being one zone, and a few outer rings being their own zones. This lets longer journeys bring in more money, which is good because long journeys are more taxing on vehicles’ condition, and this will even out the cost. A map with four city centers could be divided so that each center is its own zone that way, trips within each center area are cheap one-zone tickets or single fare tickets, but going from one center to another would be a two-zone trip or more.
Zones are useful for large cities, or on large maps with multiple city centers. You can have up to four zones and each has a separate color. If the tool has not been used, the entire map is just one zone.
The zoning tool is used to paint different price zones on the map. A huge, city-wide system with more coverage will have much more accurate information of the ticket prices and more fluctuation, because almost all journeys can be made with public transport. If you have only a few lines that don't link together, only people who are going to those locations will be regular riders. Thus, the optimal ticket prices will change according to the routes available. The optimal price is calculated by looking at how many potential passengers choose to take their own car or walk just because of the ticket prices. The system tells you if prices are too high or low, so it’s easy to find a nice comfort zone. This makes it easy to set the prices right and make larger adjustments to all prices, and then tweak individual fares more carefully. Also available as a monthly pass.Īll-zones tickets are the most expensive, but a passenger with this premium fare can freely change vehicles in all zones and travel as far as he or she likes.Įvery ticket price can be set separately, or you can raise or lower all prices of a vehicle type. Two-zone tickets are much the same as one zone tickets, but for a larger area. Very useful on short commutes! The one zone ticket can also be purchased as a monthly pass. One-zone tickets give passengers the freedom to travel within one zone and transfer freely between vehicles – such as taking a bus to the train station. The single fare ticket does not have a monthly version, but they’re fast and easy to use, and thus popular among citizens who don’t travel often. Single fare tickets are for one trip without changing a vehicle.
The system now has 4 kinds of ticket for each vehicle type, and monthly passes for most variations. With the larger map size, it was a nice addition to have more ticket types as well as price zones.
