Towns and passenger destinations

Connect industry deliveries to the districts that demand them, and passenger services to the places people travel. A transport connection needs both a suitable service and access to its destination.

Connecting the final destination

Passengers travel between home, shops and work. A useful passenger network connects these destinations through accessible stops and stations; putting a stop beside one building does not create every journey that building needs.

Freight demand is different. Commercial and industrial districts accept specific cargo types, and the available choices depend on the economy and the town’s demand tiers. The linked cargo pages list the economies and district types where those goods can be demanded.

Raw materials such as grain normally connect producers to processing industries. Follow the producer and consumer links before choosing vehicles, then check the route’s terminals and cargo compatibility. An optional input can boost an industry without being required for its basic production recipe.

For a particular town, check its active demands in the game.
