City communication
City communication can be a great counterbalance from automobiles for roads - buses and metro. Placing the stops is very easy, and buses work efficiently between residential, industrial and office zones. You can allocate a different color for each bus line by clicking on bus corresponding to it.
Citizens are paying fees for using city communication which goes to the city budget. If you have lots of lines then usually they earn more than they cost you. Additionally, people know exactly where they want to ride, so it is a good idea to use many lines and create node stations that connects more than one line.
Most people are gathered around public buildings - schools and hospitals, so you should plan your line in a way that transport will be rather fluent and lead near such buildings.
