That could be an industrial later in the supply chain, your main commercial area, or next to your harbour if your city exports a lot.ДЄs with passenger lines, place as many stations as you think are useful вЂ“ and ideally leave room for adding more later.ДЄlthough theyвЂ™re expensive, adding more means evening out the pressure on roads around the stations rater than overloading one or two.

Put one station thatвЂ™s convenient for goods вЂ“ close to your industrial areas for example, and another near where those products are going. The cargo train terminal works exactly like a passenger station except it can only accept cargo, obviously. With this information about the cityвЂ™s supply chain, youвЂ™ll have a handle on what products are going where and be able to plan accordingly for major flows of traffic. If you see a shop that is grey in this overlay, that means it is getting its products from with the city. The generic industry buildings do the same, while commercial zones only import.Д«y pulling up the Outside Connections tab in the UI you can see, in real time, what buildings are importing and exporting what. The raw material producers only export products (whether internally or externally), the secondary processors import and export. Specialised industry spawns two types of building. But in essence (hopefully the graphic above makes sense) it works like this: To see more about who needs what and when this supply chain articleВ might be useful. If itвЂ™s the fastest option, trucks will go the nearest cargo station and unload at the station nearest to the destination. This graphic is from the Supply chain article but works here too.Д¬argo can travel on rails for any part of its journey. IвЂ™ve got all the expansions installed but only After DarkвЂ™s Cargo Hub isnвЂ™t in the base game.

Д¬ompatibility: Here IвЂ™m writing about the vanilla unmodded game so it applies across the PC, Mac, Linux, Xbox, PS4 and Switch versions. IвЂ™ve got an article about other ways of reducing traffic. If it shortens the journey, cargo will (like a person) find its way to a station, loads itself up, unload at the closest station to its destination, then drive the rest of the way.Д«y putting stations, harbours and hubs near where cargo is coming from and near where itвЂ™s going, whole sections of the journey wonвЂ™t need to be made on the road. Rail freight works pretty similarly to passenger transport. Combine a good rail cargo system with an efficient public transport network and your roads will flow smoothly and serenely. Getting your cargo on rails is one of the best ways of fixing your traffic problems.
