Check out this question that's already been asked. Yes, it's beneficial to watch the government car make its way out of the donor city and into the beneficiary, but a few other factors do have a role. Traffic is the biggest factor as many cities still have traffic backed up onto the highway. And personally, I still have a few gifts outstanding that I can ...

Bus terminal and train does well but you have to support them with shuttle bus web.In your residential city if every bus terminal, train station and residential building can access to bus stops your citizens can make tranition between in shuttle bus and train station(also terminal buses) and they can go to bus terminal or train station, then do the same ...

No you can't. There are no terraforming tools in the game. If the game will not change the terrain enough for you to place your road or building, you'll have to shift it over in small increments until you find an acceptable location.

There was a bug in patch 2.0 It was fixed in patch 3.0 on 2013-05-08 Air Pollution: Fixed more issues where cities that placed air polluting buildings received large amounts of air pollution from unknown sources. In previous SimCity games, pollution sources would be placed at the map edge to limit the area affected by the pollution. This time ...

Industry buildings spawn trucks every hour (each building has its own timer). Suppose a building generates a truck at 9:15. The next truck is scheduled at 10:15 and will not generate if the first truck isn't back yet. Then 11:15, 12:15, 1:15... Trucks from different density industrial buildings carry different amounts of freight and look different. If ...

Since even on a dirty road some services like firemen or moving truck will never turn left (from the road to a building or other object) but will instead go to the nearest intersection (or end of the road), turn back, go back to the building and then turn right to it, in my opinion the ideal road consists of many intersections, thanks to which paths of cars ...

It may have been designed at one point in time that the industrial buildings would send goods to the commercial buildings in order for them to sell, but that is not the case. Commercial buildings are just a potential drop off point for goods but do not rely upon them at all. This is why you notice that you will sell more goods with a trade depot or port and ...

Possible solutions: Augment existing trade depots Zone more commercial Dezone the offending industrial and rezone or leave it alone 1) If you don't have traffic congestion problems, you could add more delivery truck or freight storage modules to your existing trade depots. David B explained this solution in detail. 2) You could also zone more commercial ...

Avenues have medians. Cars do not turn across medians. If a car is on the wrong side of the avenue, it must go to the nearest intersection and U-turn in order to get on the right side. These U-turns can be highly disruptive to traffic flow. Avoid placing high density RCI, University, or high worker count specialization buildings on avenues.

Roads! I was just working on it and I thought roads only needed upgrading based on congestion. All it took was a good upgrade and poof instant size increase and a nice fat reward from the tax base.

It's a bug that is not fixable short of the devs releasing a patch. However you could attempt to fix this via natural disaster. Unfortunately/fortunately natural disasters don't destroy roads. However, if perhaps the game sees these roads in particular as part of a building (since they were used to upgrade one) then perhaps it will make an exception. I ...

Since you can build more than one Trade depot, you can assign one for local use to send to the great work area while assign the other one to export some of your product, but you have to make sure you produce enough to keep up with the great work area.
