Custom Bus stop

Post by Peterisgb »

I need a new design for the bus station, i use to be a plane person on the orignal tt but now i'm a bus person, i have an idea of a nice layout for a bus station this is my current station

-> Close Up (Bigger Resolution) <-

my as you can see i have tried to make it a one way into the bus station, there is a bus station where i am which would look really good in this game, pic below,

i see A LOT of people uses bus, i do, just this one station i made on mine i have over 200 buses going in and out all the time, i think this would be a really good idea, if i had to guess a size 5x10 grid

let me know your ideas, and if this can atually be done?

Really? Drive-through bus-stops have been a trunk feature of OpenTTD for quite some time now.

Next time, please upload a PNG screenshot instead of a JPG-file. JPG compression destroys the image while PNG is lose-less and works fairly good on computer graphics. Ctrl+S in OpenTTD produces such a screenshot in the same directory as where your openttd.cfg is located.

You could take a look at #openttdcoop game 171 which is a massive road vehicle-only game.

If you had something specific in mind, why not just make a new game, get some money and try out different setups?

As a general tip, two-way stations where the path of entering the bus/truck stops from both sides have equal length are good.

So something like this? One way in, one way out. All one station. No idea how efficient it is. Drive through road station might reduce travelling time but then the station wouldn't have bays. Experiment and you will come up with something :)
