Concurrent Bus Boarding v1.4.2
Concurrent Bus Boarding lets several buses use the same stop at the same time when there is enough road space. The stop is the forward edge of the boarding zone, buses queue naturally behind it, board and unload concurrently, then continue to their next stop when finished.
FEATURES
– Up to two buses board together at ordinary curbside stops.
– Pull-in bays use their full detected lane and fit as many buses as their usable length allows.
– Buses keep their natural traffic spacing and remain stopped once boarding starts, even when the bus ahead leaves.
– Waiting passengers are offered to active buses in round-robin order while the game keeps its normal route, fare, animation, and capacity checks.
– Every served bus stop has a length control plus draggable rear-edge map handles for resizing its boarding zone.
– Per-stop edits save with the city and can be reset to automatic detection at any time.
– Boarding-zone overlays use each stop’s line colour by default, with custom stop and whole-line colour wheels.
– Options provides a global fallback colour and opacity control shared by every overlay colour source.
– Options includes a confirmed action that resets every customized zone in the current city.
– Boarding-zone overlays show only for the selected stop by default; this can be changed in Options.
– Options includes a 50-200% public transport attractiveness slider. The 100% default preserves vanilla passenger-route costs; higher values make passenger public transport more attractive.
HOW TO EDIT A STOP
Select a served bus stop and open Bus Boarding Zone. Use Length for precise adjustment, or choose Edit on map and drag either cyan rear corner. The stop remains the fixed forward edge. Right-click or press Escape when finished.
SCOPE AND COMPATIBILITY
Boarding behavior changes only passenger buses. The optional attractiveness setting applies to every passenger public transport type; cargo transport keeps its normal route costs. This is a code mod that integrates with the game’s vehicle, passenger, and pathfinding ECS systems; it may require an update after a major game patch.
