FAQ
The Plazas & Promenades DLC added some functional bus-only roads. Do I still need this mod?
1) Are you subscribed to, and intend to use, any bus-only roads published on the Workshop before the P&P DLC release?
Yes ➔ Read on.
No ➔ You don't.
2) Are you using TM:PE?
Yes ➔ You don't, and you never needed to (but you do need TM:PE to make those roads functional).
No ➔ You do.
Is there any difference in functionality between this mod and P&P DLC bus-only roads?
Yes, there is in fact, although a subtle one.

P&P DLC roads completely prohibit any traffic other than buses and emergency vehicles from bus-only roads. This mod heavily discourages other traffic from using these roads.

The main implication is: with P&P DLC roads, any buildings placed along a bus-only road must be located inside a Pedestrian Area and require a service area building nearby to function. Any Workshop roads which predate the P&P DLC used in conjunction with this mod, do not need any of that: garbage collections, shop deliveries and whatnot will be able to reach the buildings directly.

Makes bus-only roads possible.¹

*roads need to be obtained separately.

Description
The mod heavily discourages normal traffic from using bus-only roads.

Normal traffic (cars, trucks, etc.) will not use bus-only roads, unless they have no other choice or there are no sensible alternatives.

Examples where normal traffic will continue using these roads include anything requiring direct access to properties located next to such a road, e.g. shop deliveries, residents access, bin collections etc.

How to use
Subscribe to the mod and enable it in the Content Manager.

When loading a save for the first time after enabling this mod, it may take some time for the new rules to kick in.

Compatibility
Regrettably, the mod is not compatible with TM:PE; it will do nothing whatsoever if enabled. This is because TM:PE uses its own pathfinding code. You can achieve a similar thing with TM:PE settings, so if you are using TM:PE, you are not losing much.

  • Vanilla++ bus-only roads ✔️
  • Most custom bus-only roads found on the Steam Workshop ✔️
  • Improved Lane Connections ✔️
  • Most other mods you will find on the Workshop ✔️

Information for road asset creators
For the mod to recognise the road as a bus-only road, the bus lanes must be of 'TransportVehicle' type, and the road must not contain any normal car lanes ('Vehicle' lane type, 'Car' vehicle type) in the same direction as the bus lane.

Hi Auras, it is if you're using any of the bus-only roads from the Workshop released before the P&P DLC.

Is this mod still necessary, or is it now part of the base game?

With this mod, you can use bus-only roads from Delta 5-1, that were either not created using the After Dark bus template or have only buses (not supported in the base game; only dedicated lanes on shared roads w/ turning vehicles allowed). For example "Two-lane bus road". This mod may also be more similar to TM:PE "High" vehicle restrictions

@Witchberry
yes it works fine doing nothing :rolleyes:

@FilmFriendly
see TM:PE

By default:

TMPE requires either manually applying rules to each segment/lane; or enabling "Ban Private Vehicles from Bus/Taxi lanes" in options.

"This mod is intended for those who don't/can't use TMPE, but still want functional bus roads.
If TMPE is enabled, this mod will do nothing."

If you use TM:PE, you can setup more granular options on any network (and paint custom segments with IMT too!). You can also adjust vehicle ban strength (Normal, High, and Strict). For example buses by default will also share their lanes with cars making turns on the immediate node or delivering to a business there; unless the road doesn't support private vehicles in any lane (like "2 lane bus road").

so, with TMPE i still have to manually make bus-only roads work, and this is suggesting it makes them work automatically, so is there a mod that adds this auto-bus only to tmpe? or am i just stupid?
codewitch 6 Feb, 2022 @ 5:21pm 
@FilmFriendly possible with TM:PE

@Witchberry
"Regrettably, the mod is not compatible with TM:PE; it will do nothing if enabled. "
> That thing isn't even there yet when I replied to you. And guess what? This mod still works just fine with my TM:PE also enabled, so......
Which part of "it will do nothing" means "it works"? YOU DO NOT NEED IT. Use TM:PE's "ban private vehicles from bus-only lanes"
