Passangers
Passangers
I dont know why - but anyone passanger dont go anywhere
If you open the city info window of the city where the station is located, you can see where people from this city want to go. Each wanted destination is drawn as a yellow dot into the small world map if the passenger could get there, and as oprange dot if the passenger could not get there.
Below I quote an older message about the same topic. Maybe it helps:

To offer more options. The workers indeed want to travel to thier workplace and home again. Just in Simutrans their number isn't high enough to ensure good income for you.
You should try intercity traffic first, and then later on connect the factories, too. This will work better than the other way round.

The important fact is to have a intercity connection. You should connect as many cities as possible. IMO railway is the easiest way to do this.
You can use roads and busses, too, but you'll soon discover that the capacity is too low.
Railway will not create more traffic. Railway passengers do not pay more ... they do, if you train is fast. But they pay equall amounts for equally fast transport, regardless if road or rail.
Passenger generation work so, that inhabitants of citeis choose a destination (workplace, other city, tourist attraction) and try to go there. Thgis means to get high passenger numbers you
a) need a lot of high level buiuldings near your stations
b) offer a lot of different destinations - if a sim can't travel to his chosen destination, he won't use your service. You have to service their needs, otherwise noone uses your vehicles.

Every square of a city can be a destination for a passenger. Tourist attractions and factzories, too. But first care about the ciyt areas.

You can't fiorce them. If you don't offer transport to their favored destination, they won't use your bus. They have a strong options where they won't to go. If you offer the wrong directions, the people won't use your service.

It depends. Usually some people want to travel there, but if the attractions are outside cities, probaly less tourist than expected will want to go there. Tourist attractions inside cities are strong passenger generators and also much-liked destinations.
