Tram stops can only be placed on roads that: Remember to link your tracks to your depot so your trams have access to it! Setting Your Lines
Upgrade a previously placed road, by clicking the “!” upgrade button and selecting each segment of road you’d like to change, making sure the last section you replace meets up with the first resulting in a circuit. Draw them like you would do so a normal road, or…. In the roads tab under the same size road it has the tracks on. Through the Transport services tab under Trams, or…. The roads with tracks built in are accessible either: It can shortcut through congested parts of your city to ease traffic. It can be used as a link between tracks so you don’t have to build another depot, and…. They can be used as a standalone track when you don’t want your tram to come into contact with your traffic or cims or vice versa. They’re created much like any other path or road network and are useful for a few reasons: Tram only roads are only accessible through the Transport services tab under Trams.

Much like buses, trams only disperse from a tram depot once it is built, however unlike buses, trams operate on tracks which must be connected to your tram line (don’t worry there’ll be more on this later). Put simply they help your cims get to where they want to go a lot quicker.
Trams are unlocked along with buses and even though they have nearly 15% higher upkeep cost, they provide an excellent buffer between buses and higher capacity transportation.
Compared to that of the vanilla bus which can carry only 30 cims, the tram can carry 3x that at 90.
Nor does traffic and poor road conditions (providing your roads are well planned out), and…. Snow and poor weather does not affect them. They are very similar, and operate much like buses except they have considerable advantages:
Trams are only available with the purchase of the Snowfall DLC.Ī tram sits between a bus and a metro.
