'Ships are particularly useful on maps with large open waters connected to the edge of the map, while airplanes connect the city to the rest of the world through an airport. Buses use road connections while trains need to be connected between the city and the existing train infrastructure on the map.' Buses, trains, ships, and airplanes transport passengers between cities bringing new citizens and tourists to your city. Passenger trains can also serve local traffic if you are willing to sacrifice building space for the large train stations. In a fledgling city, the citizens can be transported by buses and taxis, and as the city grows, you are able to invest in other transportation systems, such as tram and subway networks. 'An integral part of a city's inner workings is its functioning public transportation system.
