Why do busses turn around?

[EncryptedToast]

Hi all,

Just picked up this beauty and am running OpenTTD. I went through the tutorial on the main wiki and it makes sense but I am running into wierd problems: I see the subsidy announcments along the lines of "First to get transporation between town X and Town Y..." so I jump onthose. The problem is, in every single case I connect the towns with roads, set up the bus stations and give them orders and watch the busses get half way there and turn around. I have tried rerouting the roads but nothing seems to matter...so far I have 6 busses from various towns that refused to go to another town.

Is there some sort of distance limitation I don't know about?

Probably, you're missing half a road section or something. Check if all your roads are connected properly. Only thing I can think of..

P.S. Kind of in the wrong forum..

Yeah maybe one of your bus stations is facing the wrong way, or is facing the right way but not connected.

If you still can't figure it out, screenshots and a savegame are very much in order.

Also, check that you are using drive through road stops if there are articulated vehicles.

You're dragging two opposite direction one-way raoads over each other,right?That means you're making a bolcked road where your vehicles turn around in the middle.
