How to know what a town is looking for ?

[mijack]

Hello,

1. I don't know how to find out what a town needs. How to know where to deliver food and goods (and mail) ?

2. In a city, is it better to have buses or trams ? I noticed that buses often get lost !

1. place a truck depot and hover over it , it will say what it accepts, pick a spot in the centre
2. trams are much better

2. Their purchase cost may be higher, but the running cost of trams is but a fraction of buses. They also (usually) carry more passengers than buses and have greater horsepower (allowing for quicker acceleration).
