As the topic , my company ratings goes down after I do some constructions near them , as the rating is too low , I can't build station near it , how can I improve the rating in each town rather than bribe it ?
thank you very much
How to improve company ratings in each town ?

Re: How to improve company ratings in each town ?
Planting trees on empty tiles near the town will increase the rating. If there are a lot of trees, clear a big area first and then replant the whole area at once.
Otherwise it's a matter of waiting; if you have a lot of stations that are serviced in the town it will increase fairly quickly by itself.

Re: How to improve company ratings in each town ?
The trick is to build small stations first - e.g. a pair of bus stations
Then if you want to build an airport, do that next. In many towns that will offend them enough to stall building for a time, but, too late; you've got your airport, and airports don't need any further infrastructure.
If you can't immediately place a viable station without doing some demolition, do the demolition first, as reputation damage from that will recover. As unusable stations *continually* harm your rating, you could otherwise end up in a Catch-22 problem, because clearing a necessary building may cause them to block construction of the station, but building the station means they won't let you remove the building.
If you *can* place a station in an area where it can start work immediately, build the station next, and delay any extra demolition and removal of roads for as long as possible.
Build tracks or roads and vehicle depots last.
This method works because no matter how upset they are they can't stop you building roads or tracks, but they can stop you building stations. A new town will usually let you build something small, so you can sneak in a couple of bus stations early on. Then, now that you have a couple of small stations in the town with decent station ratings, your town rating will recover much more quickly, and then you can add the bigger stuff without having to wait forever. Offend them too much before you have something working in-town, and it'll be a much longer wait before you can fix the problem.

I usually place the stations first, and only then lay down tracks and do any necessary landscaping.
