Paradox interactive have announced a new expansion coming soon for Cities: Skylines, the award-winning city-builder from Colossal Order. The expansion, titled “Mass Transit,” will bring new forms of transportation to the game, allowing players to offer in-game citizens new ways to get across town by land, sea, and air. With new transit service buildings, mass transit hubs where lines can exchange passengers, new scenarios, new landmarks, and new road types. Mass Transit will provide veteran players of Cities: Skylines with more choices and options to personalize their cities than ever before.
The new transit options will be another source of income for your city allowing you to have another revenue stream. citizens will be able to get across town in ferries, blimps, cable cars, and monorails, all of which have their ticket prices taxed.New mass transit hubs can bring all of your services together, letting citizens change rail lines in one building, or hop from the bus onto the ferry, or even find their way through a sprawling monorail-train-metro station.
The expansion will also bring new scenarios and they will be specifically designed around solving traffic related problems so players will be able to challenge themselves and use their traffic busting skills. The new expansion will arrive together with a free update to the base game upon release. This free update adds mod-inspired features to traffic management, such as an extended public transport budget, emergency vehicle overtaking and more road features. The patch will also include the much-requested ability to name roads.
