Steam confirms buses and trucks within the roster. ↗

The infrastructure blog describes bus lanes and configurable lane connections. ↗

Truck stations can load multiple vehicles when their layout supports it. ↗

From information to action

How to approach the decision

Editorial planning advice based on the confirmed systems above.

  1. Follow one vehicle through each junction to find the first queue.
  2. Compare road delay against loading delay before increasing the fleet.

A mistake to avoid

Road width alone does not establish the capacity of a bottleneck intersection.

Unverified values and test limits

Unknown values and independent test scope

Vehicle capacities, fuel/operating economics and loading stats.

Official documentation, historical developer statements and editorial inspection advice have separate scopes. Exact unobserved values remain Unknown. A published global patch does not establish an independent test of this guide.

Put it to work
