Manukau or rather Transform Manukau is 600 hectares in size compared to the main City Centre being around 385ha (this does NOT include Port of Auckland but does include Wynyard Quarter). The first is about capacity to meet demand (The Southern Airport Line intersects Manukau Bus Station and Puhihui Train Station that have heavily patronised transit lines running through them) and the second is about ambience especially in a major Metropolitan Centre like Manukau. The Northern Airport Line will be Light Rail while I am pushing the Manukau to Airport section of the Southern Airport Line to be Light Rail (Manukau to Botany will be bus). I can control budgets of individual lines so I can determine the capacity required: This is why the trams are used in local loop running like City Boulevard Lines 1 and 2. In high ambience areas like City Boulevard, the City Centre and Laytonville having lots of busses running around isn’t my idea of fostering ambience. Don’t get me wrong busses have their place including the biofuel bus but in a large City they just don’t cut the mustard when wanting to move people between areas (and between Metro Stations). The question is why am I using trams for shot distance running? Answer One is capacity while answer two is ambience.īusses are smelly, noisy and hold fewer passengers compared to the trams. Both classes of lines connect to each other either at a common station/stop or a slight over lap of the lines in some areas (two tram lines sharing the same bit of road/track) to allow transfers. The dash lines are the ferries, thick lines the Metro Lines and the thin lines are the trams:Īs noted before I run both trans-city tram lines and tram lines that run within a single district (local loop running). This map shows the transit system in San Solarian City. From time to time I will build a busway to allow busses to do medium distance running while light rail can be used for short distance running.īut it is the LRT system I have set up that is of more interest as it gives lessons to Auckland as we try to set up an LRT system of our own. In Cities Skylines I usually follow the above rules with a couple of exceptions. Heavy Rail (and Metro Rail with Cities Skylines) for long distances or high capacity shuttling such as a major transport interchange and a stadium.Busses for short distances and feeders into major interchanges.The rule of thumb I usually follow with transit is this: In this case these two bigger lines run through multiple districts and centres so using the big E-class tram that holds 210 passengers will be more viable (remember my biggest bus is only 130 passengers). The two bigger lines being the Thorton Interchange to City Centre Line and the Airport to City Centre LRT Line both which run through part of the City Boulevard Lines.Īirport and NW Lines Source: AKL Urban Design via Twitter Note: Not final for statioms Manukau City Centre and Manukau/Wiri would be a perfect example of such a Light Rail scheme that connects into a larger LRT scheme like the Southern Airport Line (Manukau to the Airport via Puhinui Station) or in Cities Skylines the two City Boulevard Lines connecting into the bigger trans-city lines. So rather clogging my nice new urban area up with smelly busses I can use smaller trams to move passengers around while stepping up capacity as demand increases. As a comparison a bio-fuel bus holds 40 passengers while the bendy busses hold 130 and let off a pile of diesel fumes along the way. I can control individual line budgets meaning I can select capacity ranges from 75 to 210 passengers. Two of the four new tram lines are intra-suburb running – meaning the line runs within a single district rather than multiple districts. Do not be afraid of Light Rail and also Light Rail is good for small intra suburb running as well as big trans-city running like Airport Lines.
